15 BENSGROVE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 BENSGROVE CLOSE sales from August 1998 and February 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 August 1998 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI.
