The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tonbridge and Malling local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 MERLIN CLOSE sales from April 2001 and April 2011 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 April 2001 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI.
