CASTLE 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 two CASTLE COTTAGE sales from August 1996 and August 2003 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 1996 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
