ORCHARD COTTAGE 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 five ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between January 2000 and March 2017 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 April 2005 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.
