THE LAURELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LAURELS sales from November 2006 and June 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 November 2006 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
