4 THE BIRCHWOODS 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 4 THE BIRCHWOODS sales between March 1997 and September 2022 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 2016 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, which was also at 17% above the HPI.
