3 HAMSEY 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 two 3 HAMSEY CLOSE sales from February 1999 and April 2024 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the February 1999 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.
