1 SOMERSET CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 SOMERSET CLOSE sales from May 1997 and September 2014 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 May 1997 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
