68 FOREST ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 68 FOREST ROAD sales between June 2004 and October 2016 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 September 2009 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
