1 RISING SUN COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 1 RISING SUN COTTAGES sales between March 1995 and July 2015 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 April 2011 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
