The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 MERCERS sales between June 1995 and May 2012 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 August 1997 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
