1 SOVEREIGN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rochford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 SOVEREIGN CLOSE sales between June 1996 and October 2017 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 July 1999 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.
