4 FORGE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 FORGE LANE sales between November 1995 and February 2019 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 2001 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
