The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three APRIL COTTAGE sales between August 2002 and September 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 July 2014 sale was for 119% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 119% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 92% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 92% above the HPI.
