4 THE HOLT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 THE HOLT sales from September 1997 and July 2011 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 1997 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
