BULLPITS 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 four BULLPITS sales between July 2003 and September 2021 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 2009 sale was for 96% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 81% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 81% above the HPI.
