137 ESSEX ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 137 ESSEX ROAD sales between January 1997 and August 2021 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 January 2005 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
