FARAWAY 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 FARAWAY sales from August 2005 and November 2011 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 August 2005 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
