DOVECOTE COTTAGE 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 two DOVECOTE COTTAGE sales from September 1997 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 September 1997 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
