The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MOAT COTTAGE sales from August 2000 and January 2022 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 2000 sale was for 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
