1A HELMSDALE 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 three 1A HELMSDALE CLOSE sales between July 2011 and June 2021 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 2017 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might 1A HELMSDALE CLOSE be worth now?
