OLD POLICE HOUSE 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 OLD POLICE HOUSE sales from September 2021 and January 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 September 2021 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
