YORK COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five YORK COTTAGE sales between December 2002 and August 2021 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 2018 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
