MERRIFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRIFIELD sales from July 1997 and September 2007 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 July 1997 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the September 2007 sale, where it falls to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.
