5 MOUNTAIN ASH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 MOUNTAIN ASH CLOSE sales between August 2005 and December 2017 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 2007 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.
