5 LICHFIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 LICHFIELD CLOSE sales between October 1997 and January 2015 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 February 2004 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
