THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FORGE sales between November 2004 and June 2020 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 September 2009 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
