HIGHDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six HIGHDOWN sales between October 1996 and August 2017 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 January 2015 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.
