WILLOW DOWN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WILLOW DOWN COTTAGE sales from September 1996 and July 2001 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 September 1996 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the July 2001 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI.
