40 VALLEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 40 VALLEY CLOSE sales between February 1999 and March 2017 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 November 2009 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
