MOAT COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MOAT COTTAGE sales between March 2009 and August 2021 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 August 2016 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
