3 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 3 ESSEX GARDENS sales between April 2006 and March 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 November 2012 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI.
