5 SOFTWATER LANE 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 two 5 SOFTWATER LANE sales from November 2000 and July 2019 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 2000 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
