LEIGHTON 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 three LEIGHTON COTTAGE sales between May 2001 and February 2022 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 2013 sale was for 131% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 131% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.
