PURLEY LODGE 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 PURLEY LODGE COTTAGE sales from May 2000 and June 2017 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 May 2000 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI.
