14 CHARLES 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 three 14 CHARLES CLOSE sales between September 1997 and June 2015 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 2010 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, which was also at 34% below the HPI.

What might 14 CHARLES CLOSE be worth now?
