HIDCOTE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIDCOTE sales from August 2000 and November 2022 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 August 2000 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
