The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 THE BIRCHWOODS sales between March 1997 and September 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the December 2016 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI.
