16 THE COVERS 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 THE COVERS sales from February 1998 and September 2017 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 February 1998 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
