VILLAGE FARM COTTAGE 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 two VILLAGE FARM COTTAGE sales from December 1996 and February 2013 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 December 1996 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
