278A BENHAM HILL 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 278A BENHAM HILL sales from August 2002 and April 2024 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 August 2002 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
