OAKLEA 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 four OAKLEA sales between November 1999 and July 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 July 2014 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
