The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 242 BENHAM HILL sales between July 2006 and May 2020 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 December 2015 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, which was also at 24% below the HPI.
