THE THORNS 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 THORNS sales between August 1995 and March 2013 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 2001 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it rises to 82% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 82% above the HPI.
