THE BIRCHES 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 two THE BIRCHES sales from April 2006 and September 2019 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 2006 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
