8 SOUTH DRIVE 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 8 SOUTH DRIVE sales between November 1999 and November 2022 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 2015 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 109% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 109% above the HPI.
