PUMP COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three PUMP COTTAGE sales between May 2004 and May 2023 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 December 2006 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
