FERN COTTAGE 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 FERN COTTAGE sales from October 2015 and May 2020 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 2015 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
