The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 BIRCH ROAD sales from January 2004 and August 2023 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 2004 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI.
