THE COTTAGE 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 THE COTTAGE sales from May 2000 and August 2005 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 May 2000 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.
