THE BEECHES 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 THE BEECHES sales between December 2016 and January 2021 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 September 2019 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
