2 MESSANT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MESSANT CLOSE sales from October 2005 and February 2012 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 October 2005 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, which was also at 43% below the HPI.

What might 2 MESSANT CLOSE be worth now?
