LAUREL BANK 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 three LAUREL BANK sales between July 1998 and November 2012 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 December 2004 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.
