LYCHGATE 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 LYCHGATE sales between June 2000 and January 2021 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 2005 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
