4 NIVEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 NIVEN CLOSE sales between January 1999 and January 2005 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 June 2004 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the January 2005 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.
