9 MELLING 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 four 9 MELLING CLOSE sales between December 2003 and July 2017 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 2010 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, which was also at 40% below the HPI.
