5 FINBECK WAY 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 5 FINBECK WAY sales between September 1997 and February 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 October 2003 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 5 FINBECK WAY be worth now?
