4 BOWNESS AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Adur local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 BOWNESS AVENUE sales between March 1999 and February 2006 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 January 2000 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the February 2006 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
