8 THE COVERS 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 two 8 THE COVERS sales from October 1997 and January 2002 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 1997 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the January 2002 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
