19 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 19 MERLIN CLOSE sales between June 2011 and April 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 June 2013 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
