The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 34A KENTWOOD HILL sales between April 1995 and June 2017 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 December 2002 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
