1 DOWNS VALLEY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 DOWNS VALLEY sales from May 2009 and August 2018 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 May 2009 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
