WEST RAYS 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 WEST RAYS sales between October 1996 and February 2024 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 August 2019 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.
