10 DOWNS 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 three 10 DOWNS CLOSE sales between June 1997 and July 2006 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 November 2002 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the July 2006 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.
