HIGHLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ashford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHLANDS sales from September 2003 and February 2020 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 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
