5 CHILTERN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 CHILTERN CLOSE sales between April 1995 and January 2014 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 2006 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might 5 CHILTERN CLOSE be worth now?
