1 FERN 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 1 FERN CLOSE sales from August 1996 and December 2019 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 August 1996 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
