5 FORGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dover local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 FORGE CLOSE sales from September 1996 and October 2001 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 September 1996 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the October 2001 sale, which was also at 5% below the HPI.

What might 5 FORGE CLOSE be worth now?
