ROSE COTTAGE 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 two ROSE COTTAGE sales from January 2011 and July 2016 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 2011 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
