HIGHLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rother local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four HIGHLANDS sales between September 1998 and January 2024 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 December 2021 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
