18 SIMONS 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 two 18 SIMONS CLOSE sales from March 2005 and December 2018 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 2005 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.
