DOWN END 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 DOWN END sales from July 2011 and May 2017 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 2011 sale was for 88% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
