4 MERTON ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 MERTON ROAD sales from June 2006 and May 2014 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 2006 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.
