5 MERRYFIELDS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 MERRYFIELDS CLOSE sales between January 2001 and July 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 May 2010 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI.
