5 GAINSBOROUGH 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 two 5 GAINSBOROUGH CLOSE sales from March 2001 and June 2024 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the March 2001 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
