16 TOLKIEN ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 TOLKIEN ROAD sales from September 2001 and May 2019 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 2001 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
