23 GATCOMBE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 23 GATCOMBE CLOSE sales between December 1995 and May 2016 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 2003 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
