FARTHINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five FARTHINGS sales between November 1997 and March 2018 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 March 2015 sale was for 62% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 62% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.
