TIMBERS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sevenoaks local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three TIMBERS sales between January 1998 and July 2009 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 2003 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
