THE ORCHARD 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 three THE ORCHARD sales between October 1995 and March 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 August 2006 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.
