The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 181 FOREST ROAD sales from November 2006 and August 2020 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 November 2006 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 60% above the HPI.
