BLUE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BLUE FIRS sales between January 1999 and November 2022 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 2019 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
