SCOTLAND 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 two SCOTLAND COTTAGE sales from December 2001 and December 2019 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 2001 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
