BLANDINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gravesham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BLANDINGS sales from April 2017 and January 2022 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 April 2017 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.
