THE BANKS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gravesham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE BANKS sales from November 2002 and August 2021 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 November 2002 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
