9 SIMONS 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 9 SIMONS CLOSE sales from December 2010 and February 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 December 2010 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 9 SIMONS CLOSE be worth now?
