5 BIRD IN HAND STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 BIRD IN HAND STREET sales between June 2003 and October 2017 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 February 2004 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
