HIGH COTTAGE 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 HIGH COTTAGE sales between February 1998 and December 2023 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 2019 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.
