29 HELMSDALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 29 HELMSDALE CLOSE sales between April 2008 and April 2018 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 2011 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 29 HELMSDALE CLOSE be worth now?
