The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 42 PRESTON ROAD sales between December 1998 and February 2020 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 August 2012 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
