The below table shows the price paid for the three sales, along with the average detached price in the West Berkshire local authority area for the corresponding sale date.

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 FIVE ACRE sales between October 1997 and January 2011 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 August 2004 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
