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 LONGHILL CLOSE sales from August 2014 and December 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2014 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI.
