ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five ELM COTTAGE sales between July 1996 and February 2023 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 2021 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
