DART 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 DART COTTAGE sales from August 1999 and February 2015 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 1999 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.
