4 FRIENDLY CLOSE 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 two 4 FRIENDLY CLOSE sales from July 2003 and August 2017 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 July 2003 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
