FERNWOOD 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 FERNWOOD sales from July 2013 and April 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 July 2013 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 67% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% below the HPI.
