3 SCOTCHMEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 SCOTCHMEN CLOSE sales from June 2000 and February 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 June 2000 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
