8 THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 THE FIRS sales between July 1995 and March 2005 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 March 2002 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the March 2005 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
