8 FORGE 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 two 8 FORGE CLOSE sales from February 2018 and December 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 February 2018 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.
