15 DOWNSCROFT 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 three 15 DOWNSCROFT sales between June 2004 and August 2011 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 2005 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
