8 KINGSMEAD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 KINGSMEAD CLOSE sales between July 1995 and August 2012 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 August 2007 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 8 KINGSMEAD CLOSE be worth now?
