16 CHARLES BABBAGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Kingston upon Thames local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 CHARLES BABBAGE CLOSE sales from May 2000 and June 2002 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 May 2000 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI.
