5 FAIRLOP CLOSE 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 5 FAIRLOP CLOSE sales from April 2003 and June 2009 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 April 2003 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the June 2009 sale, where it rises to 51% below the HPI.
