14 WESTWATER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 14 WESTWATER sales between July 1997 and January 2015 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 2002 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
