COVE 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 COVE COTTAGE sales from July 2002 and May 2018 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 July 2002 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
