OAKFIELD COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OAKFIELD COTTAGE sales from April 1997 and December 2009 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 April 1997 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.
