16 SHEPHERDS 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 SHEPHERDS CLOSE sales from July 2007 and March 2018 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 July 2007 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.9%, between March 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Lewes local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
