ROSE 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 ROSE COTTAGE sales between May 2006 and September 2022 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 April 2007 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
