OWLCROFT 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 OWLCROFT sales between August 2002 and February 2018 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 2014 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.
