DELFT LODGE 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 DELFT LODGE sales from May 1997 and November 2013 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 1997 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
