FORGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FORGE COTTAGE sales between October 2002 and November 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 March 2007 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
