The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 7 THE FIRS sales between May 2001 and November 2020 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 April 2014 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, which was also at 43% below the HPI.
