18 DARK LANE 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 18 DARK LANE sales from August 1995 and April 1998 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 1995 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the April 1998 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
