13 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thurrock local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 13 THE CLOSE sales from October 2005 and February 2016 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 October 2005 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
