17 BARLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 17 BARLOW CLOSE sales between June 1996 and May 2014 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 April 2006 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.
