MYRTLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MYRTLE COTTAGE sales between January 2001 and July 2014 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 August 2012 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
