RYKEHURST HOUSE 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 three RYKEHURST HOUSE sales between January 2013 and October 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 December 2016 sale was for 522% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 522% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it falls to 519% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 519% above the HPI.
