GOLDFINCH 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 four GOLDFINCH sales between May 2009 and November 2024 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 2018 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
