LICHEN HOUSE 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 two LICHEN HOUSE sales from February 2000 and November 2006 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 February 2000 sale was for 88% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 88% above the HPI over time, until the November 2006 sale, where it rises to 105% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 105% above the HPI.

What might LICHEN HOUSE be worth now?
