THE LIGHTHOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LIGHTHOUSE sales from January 2007 and April 2011 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 January 2007 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
