5 THE GARDENS 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 5 THE GARDENS sales between April 1999 and April 2015 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 October 2009 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
