THE ORCHARD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE ORCHARD sales between December 2017 and January 2024 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 2019 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
