18 LYCHFIELD DRIVE 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 two 18 LYCHFIELD DRIVE sales from December 2012 and January 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 December 2012 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.
