40 DOWNSWAY 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 four 40 DOWNSWAY sales between November 1998 and November 2019 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 2017 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
