THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LAURELS sales from May 1995 and September 2018 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 1995 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it falls to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.
