WOODPECKERS 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 three WOODPECKERS sales between October 1997 and July 2015 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 1999 sale was for 96% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.
