4 VERNON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 VERNON CLOSE sales between December 1995 and January 2021 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 February 1996 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 4 VERNON CLOSE be worth now?
