5 SOMERSET CLOSE 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 three 5 SOMERSET CLOSE sales between July 1996 and April 2022 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 April 2011 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
