5 THE CRESCENT 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 THE CRESCENT sales from September 2002 and September 2016 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 September 2002 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
