1 SOPWITH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 SOPWITH CLOSE sales between October 1998 and September 2006 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 May 2000 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the September 2006 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
