17 DOWNESWAY 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 two 17 DOWNESWAY sales from September 2014 and March 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 September 2014 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
