CHESTNUTS 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 CHESTNUTS sales between February 1995 and April 2006 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 May 2002 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the April 2006 sale, where it rises to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
