FINCH 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 FINCH COTTAGE sales from November 2000 and March 2021 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 November 2000 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
