FORGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Arun local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FORGE COTTAGE sales from August 1999 and June 2011 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 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
