3 FIELD CLOSE 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 three 3 FIELD CLOSE sales between November 1995 and June 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 April 2002 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
