285 CASTLE 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 two 285 CASTLE ROAD sales from April 2003 and March 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 April 2003 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.
