FOREST HOUSE 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 FOREST HOUSE sales from November 1996 and October 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 November 1996 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.
