LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LAURELS sales from October 2014 and May 2023 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 October 2014 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 86% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 86% above the HPI.
