10 FARM CLOSE 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 10 FARM CLOSE sales between January 2008 and December 2023 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 January 2017 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI.
