4 DOVE 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 five 4 DOVE CLOSE sales between May 1995 and August 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 September 2013 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
