1 OLD FOORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 OLD FOORD CLOSE sales from June 2003 and February 2012 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 2003 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI.
