8 WANTAGE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 WANTAGE ROAD sales from December 2003 and July 2005 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 2003 sale was for 45% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% above the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
