DOVE 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 DOVE COTTAGE sales from July 2007 and December 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 July 2007 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 62% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% above the HPI.
