16 BISHOPS 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 16 BISHOPS CLOSE sales from September 2002 and October 2016 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 September 2002 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
