18 BETJEMAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 BETJEMAN CLOSE sales from December 2003 and November 2021 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 2003 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it falls to 57% below the HPI.
