5 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 THE CLOSE sales between June 1997 and November 2018 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 2011 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
