7 KIRKFELL 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 7 KIRKFELL CLOSE sales from July 2014 and August 2017 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2014 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.
