162 APPLEFORD DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 162 APPLEFORD DRIVE sales between May 1998 and September 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 August 2001 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
