2 LEIGHTON COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 2 LEIGHTON COTTAGE sales between May 1995 and July 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 November 2013 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2021 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might 2 LEIGHTON COTTAGE be worth now?
