18 READING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 READING CLOSE sales between December 2005 and August 2023 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 January 2007 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
