THE OLD POST OFFICE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD POST OFFICE sales from December 2011 and March 2021 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 December 2011 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
