5 CLAY 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 four 5 CLAY CLOSE sales between May 1996 and October 2014 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 2011 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
