KINGSDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reigate and Banstead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four KINGSDOWN sales between November 1996 and April 2016 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 December 2012 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
