THE OLD READING ROOM Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chichester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five THE OLD READING ROOM sales between September 2000 and June 2016 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 September 2009 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI.
