PURLEY LODGE 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 sales from October 2008 and August 2014 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 October 2008 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.
