5 LAPWING 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 two 5 LAPWING DRIVE sales from November 1996 and May 2013 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 November 1996 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.
