16 FARM 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 three 16 FARM CLOSE sales between June 2012 and June 2018 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 April 2014 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 16 FARM CLOSE be worth now?
