The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 BARNARD CLOSE sales between September 1998 and March 2021 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 2014 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI.
