7 HELMSDALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 7 HELMSDALE CLOSE sales between June 2003 and June 2024 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 December 2015 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
