HILLHEAD 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 five HILLHEAD sales between March 1999 and October 2019 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 October 2012 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
