5 DOWNS 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 DOWNS CLOSE sales between January 1997 and March 2025 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 April 2016 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the March 2025 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 5 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?
