18 WESTWATER 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 four 18 WESTWATER sales between May 1995 and December 2020 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 July 2016 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
