The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 FARM CLOSE sales from June 2004 and November 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 June 2004 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, which was also at 32% below the HPI.
