11 BENSON 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 11 BENSON CLOSE sales from April 2001 and July 2003 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 April 2001 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the July 2003 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI.
