ROSE COTTAGE 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 four ROSE COTTAGE sales between October 1996 and January 2022 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 June 2010 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
