5 FAY 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 three 5 FAY CLOSE sales between February 2000 and July 2005 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 2001 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
