18 ALMA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 ALMA CLOSE sales from August 1996 and April 2003 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 1996 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the April 2003 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
