THE BARN 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 THE BARN sales from March 2002 and December 2011 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 2002 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.
