DOWNSLEIGH 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 DOWNSLEIGH sales from May 1996 and March 2018 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 May 1996 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
