5 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THE CLOSE sales from November 2002 and June 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 2002 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
