FIRLANDS 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 three FIRLANDS sales between May 2003 and May 2012 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 October 2006 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
