THE GATEHOUSE 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 two THE GATEHOUSE sales from May 2002 and June 2011 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 May 2002 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
