THE BRACKEN 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 two THE BRACKEN sales from December 2007 and September 2019 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 2007 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
