THE SHOP Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE SHOP sales from January 1995 and May 2023 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 183% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 183% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 78% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 78% below the HPI.
