3 BANCROFT PLACE 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 3 BANCROFT PLACE sales from April 1997 and August 2009 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 April 1997 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 3 BANCROFT PLACE be worth now?
