BEECH DRIVE 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 BEECH DRIVE sales from December 1998 and March 2008 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 1998 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the March 2008 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
