CANDLES 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 CANDLES sales from February 2002 and June 2006 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 2002 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
