78 THE DROVEWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 78 THE DROVEWAY sales from July 2012 and August 2022 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 July 2012 sale was for 59% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 101% above the HPI.
