2 RECREATION AVENUE 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 RECREATION AVENUE sales from July 2002 and December 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 July 2002 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
