LONGMETE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four LONGMETE HOUSE sales between July 1999 and December 2017 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 August 2011 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
