THE NEST 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 two THE NEST sales from June 1996 and October 2015 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 1996 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
