MELSETTER 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 two MELSETTER sales from October 1995 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 October 1995 sale was for 255% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 255% above the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 302% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 302% above the HPI.
