FIRLE HOUSE 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 three FIRLE HOUSE sales between August 1998 and November 2014 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 2009 sale was for 104% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 104% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 127% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 127% above the HPI.
