8 SHIPTON 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 three 8 SHIPTON CLOSE sales between July 1997 and March 2021 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 July 2010 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI.
