5 FIRMSTONE CLOSE 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 5 FIRMSTONE CLOSE sales between June 1996 and October 2017 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 September 1999 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI.
