2 OLD RECTORY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 OLD RECTORY CLOSE sales from April 1999 and March 2008 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 1999 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the March 2008 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
