THE 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 THE COTTAGE sales from October 2002 and April 2010 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 October 2002 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the April 2010 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
