The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 MERCER CLOSE sales between April 2003 and June 2014 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 April 2011 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.
