31 ILLUSTRIOUS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 ILLUSTRIOUS CLOSE sales from August 2005 and October 2007 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 2005 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
