4 WESTWATER 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 three 4 WESTWATER sales between August 2001 and March 2021 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 2017 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, which was also at 14% above the HPI.
