42 THE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Merton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 THE DRIVE sales between February 1996 and July 2009 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2007 sale was for 59% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% below the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it falls to 60% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% below the HPI.
