APRIL COTTAGE 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 two APRIL COTTAGE sales from October 2014 and October 2023 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 October 2014 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
