28 BACKWOODS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 BACKWOODS LANE sales from September 2009 and March 2024 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 2009 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.
