THE OLD POST OFFICE 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 four THE OLD POST OFFICE sales between June 1998 and March 2012 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 2003 sale was for 142% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 142% above the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it rises to 206% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 206% above the HPI.
