2 BOWLING GREEN LANE 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 five 2 BOWLING GREEN LANE sales between October 1997 and September 2019 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 February 2013 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
