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 four THE CHIMES sales between May 1997 and April 2016 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 August 2000 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
