57 RATBY 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 two 57 RATBY CLOSE sales from July 1997 and May 2002 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 July 1997 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 57 RATBY CLOSE be worth now?
