5 SWALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 SWALE CLOSE sales between March 2000 and December 2020 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 2012 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
