4 UPAVON DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 4 UPAVON DRIVE sales between January 1997 and October 2006 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 February 2005 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 4 UPAVON DRIVE be worth now?
