BLUEBELL 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 BLUEBELL COTTAGE sales between August 2004 and May 2019 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 2009 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
