BOOKENDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BOOKENDS sales from August 2014 and December 2017 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 2014 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
