FOREST LODGE 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 FOREST LODGE sales between March 2000 and September 2013 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 2009 sale was for 142% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 142% above the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 124% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 124% above the HPI.
