12 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 two 12 SOVEREIGN CLOSE sales from December 1996 and March 2005 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 December 1996 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the March 2005 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
