The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two APPLE TREE COTTAGE sales from May 2000 and September 2011 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 2000 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, which was also at 4% below the HPI.
