3 CHICHESTER DRIVE WEST 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 3 CHICHESTER DRIVE WEST sales between February 2003 and April 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 October 2008 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 3 CHICHESTER DRIVE WEST be worth now?
