BIRCHDEN CORNER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRCHDEN CORNER sales from October 1997 and August 2018 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 1997 sale was for 129% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 129% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 150% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 150% above the HPI.
