THE OLD RECTORY 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 OLD RECTORY sales from January 1995 and September 2013 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 1995 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
