FORGE COTTAGE 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 five FORGE COTTAGE sales between December 1995 and February 2020 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 July 2007 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.
