5 FORDWICH DRIVE 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 FORDWICH DRIVE sales between July 2000 and August 2023 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 2008 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
