The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 ORCHID CLOSE sales between December 2000 and February 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 December 2003 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI.
