20 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Merton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 THE DRIVE sales from September 1996 and July 2004 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 September 1996 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.
