3 COWDENS CLOSE 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 COWDENS CLOSE sales between January 2007 and August 2016 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 November 2007 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
