PROSPECT COTTAGE 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 PROSPECT COTTAGE sales between August 1996 and October 2015 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 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
