26 LONGLEY ROAD 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 26 LONGLEY ROAD sales between August 2020 and April 2024 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 December 2022 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 310% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 310% above the HPI.
