HESTIA 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 HESTIA sales between October 1998 and December 2019 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 June 2004 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.
