THE CHIMES 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 three THE CHIMES sales between March 1996 and March 2022 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 October 2013 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 107% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 107% above the HPI.
