5 ROWAN LEA 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 ROWAN LEA sales between April 1999 and January 2004 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 May 2001 sale was for 65% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% below the HPI over time, until the January 2004 sale, where it rises to 59% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% below the HPI.
