CHEQUERS 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 CHEQUERS sales from May 2004 and October 2015 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 May 2004 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.
