8 HARTPIECE 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 8 HARTPIECE CLOSE sales from July 2006 and August 2007 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 July 2006 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI.
