DOWNLANDS 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 three DOWNLANDS sales between July 2003 and September 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 October 2006 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
