BARN COTTAGE 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 BARN COTTAGE sales between April 1996 and April 2020 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 December 1999 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the April 2020 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
