17 THE UPPER DRIVE 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 three 17 THE UPPER DRIVE sales between October 1998 and October 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 April 2008 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
