RIDGELANDS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tunbridge Wells local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RIDGELANDS COTTAGE sales from September 1998 and December 2013 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 1998 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it rises to 88% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 88% above the HPI.
