THE FIRS 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 FIRS sales from May 2001 and July 2003 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 2001 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2003 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
