MAYCROFT 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 four MAYCROFT sales between December 1999 and July 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 January 2012 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.
