8 RIVER GARDENS 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 8 RIVER GARDENS sales from August 1999 and July 2017 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 August 1999 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 8 RIVER GARDENS be worth now?
