VIKING LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Thanet local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two VIKING LODGE sales from May 1999 and September 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 1999 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.
