2 KILN 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 2 KILN CLOSE sales from July 2002 and October 2013 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 July 2002 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 2 KILN CLOSE be worth now?
