GILDEN 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 two GILDEN sales from April 1996 and January 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 April 1996 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
