3 SIMS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Havering local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 SIMS CLOSE sales between July 1997 and August 2020 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 April 2002 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
