HILL 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 HILL COTTAGE sales from March 1999 and February 2004 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 March 1999 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, where it falls to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
