129 FOREST ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 129 FOREST ROAD sales between June 1998 and June 2013 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 June 2008 sale was for 208% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 208% above the HPI over time, until the June 2013 sale, where it falls to 205% above the HPI.
