42 KING STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 KING STREET sales from July 1999 and February 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 July 1999 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might 42 KING STREET be worth now?
