21 FIRMSTONE 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 four 21 FIRMSTONE CLOSE sales between April 1995 and November 2014 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 2007 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI.
