THORNLEA 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 THORNLEA sales from March 1997 and November 2022 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 March 1997 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.
