The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 HAYFIELD CLOSE sales from July 2002 and August 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2002 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI.
