8 HEATHER DRIVE 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 8 HEATHER DRIVE sales from June 1995 and December 2015 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 June 1995 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
