5 BALAS DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 BALAS DRIVE sales between December 1999 and January 2024 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 2018 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
