MYCROFT 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 three MYCROFT sales between August 1997 and April 2024 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 January 2016 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, which was also at 5% below the HPI.
