9 MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bracknell Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 9 MERTON CLOSE sales between May 2002 and May 2014 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 2007 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 66% below the HPI.
