4 WELCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 WELCH CLOSE sales between June 2004 and February 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 March 2013 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it falls to 60% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% below the HPI.
