5 RUGGLES 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 two 5 RUGGLES CLOSE sales from October 1999 and November 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 October 1999 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 5 RUGGLES CLOSE be worth now?
