26 THE 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 26 THE CLOSE sales from January 2016 and November 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 January 2016 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 26 THE CLOSE be worth now?
