8 MESSENGER ROAD 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 8 MESSENGER ROAD sales from November 2015 and July 2024 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 November 2015 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
