BOWER HOUSE 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 two BOWER HOUSE sales from July 2016 and September 2020 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 July 2016 sale was for 70% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 70% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.
