6 KENSINGTON 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 three 6 KENSINGTON CLOSE sales between August 2005 and January 2021 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 January 2012 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
