5 BROOM 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 two 5 BROOM CLOSE sales from March 2012 and July 2014 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 March 2012 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
