THE HIVE 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 HIVE sales between August 2002 and October 2014 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 2008 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
