BROOKSCROFT 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 two BROOKSCROFT sales from September 2003 and March 2016 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 September 2003 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
