The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 DOWNSHIRE SQUARE sales between October 2003 and June 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 October 2013 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI.
