2 HORNCASTLE COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 HORNCASTLE COTTAGES sales between April 1999 and May 2002 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 February 2001 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it rises to 38% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% above the HPI.
