THISTLE BECK 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 THISTLE BECK sales between September 1995 and December 2018 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 2017 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.
