BETHANY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BETHANY sales between March 1999 and January 2023 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 December 2020 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
