FORGE 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 three FORGE COTTAGE sales between September 1999 and August 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 August 2002 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
