The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 THE OLD SCHOOL sales from May 2007 and June 2010 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2007 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI.
