RIDDLESDOWN 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 two RIDDLESDOWN sales from July 1996 and August 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 July 1996 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
