286 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 five 286 BENHAM HILL sales between April 1998 and December 2023 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 May 2004 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 286 BENHAM HILL be worth now?
