THE LIMES 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 LIMES sales from November 1996 and December 2002 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 1996 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
