THE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brighton and Hove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE COTTAGE sales between July 2001 and February 2018 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 November 2006 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
