1 LONGHILL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 1 LONGHILL CLOSE sales between August 1999 and January 2020 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 May 2012 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
