LONGCROFT 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 three LONGCROFT sales between July 2000 and October 2015 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 2013 sale was for 109% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 109% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.
