THE FARTHINGS 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 THE FARTHINGS sales between March 1998 and September 2021 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 February 2003 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
