1 RIVER GARDENS 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 four 1 RIVER GARDENS sales between September 1995 and September 2017 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 August 2007 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.
