37 ESSEX CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 37 ESSEX CLOSE sales from May 2021 and October 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 May 2021 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI.
