20 ESSEX GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 20 ESSEX GARDENS sales between June 1996 and November 2022 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 November 2016 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI.
