OLD TOLL 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 four OLD TOLL COTTAGE sales between August 1995 and July 2016 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 January 2007 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might OLD TOLL COTTAGE be worth now?
