5 BOWMAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BOWMAN CLOSE sales from June 1997 and March 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 June 1997 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI.
