8 RUBY 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 six 8 RUBY CLOSE sales between December 2004 and September 2018 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 2015 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
