THE PONDCROFT 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 three THE PONDCROFT sales between September 2010 and December 2020 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 May 2019 sale was for 96% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 103% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 103% above the HPI.
