17 RUFUS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Lewes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 RUFUS CLOSE sales from February 2008 and June 2023 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 February 2008 sale was for 79% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% above the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 99% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 99% above the HPI.
