COLD BLOW 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 COLD BLOW sales from November 2018 and August 2023 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 November 2018 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
