THE OLD 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 two THE OLD COTTAGE sales from October 2016 and March 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 October 2016 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.
