15 THE DROVE 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 four 15 THE DROVE sales between June 1997 and April 2009 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 2001 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the April 2009 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
