The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 RIVER GARDENS sales from March 2011 and May 2024 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 March 2011 sale was for 66% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 54% below the HPI.
