1 LANCASTER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 LANCASTER CLOSE sales from July 1995 and December 1998 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 1995 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the December 1998 sale, where it rises to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.
