1 BARKER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 BARKER CLOSE sales between March 1999 and March 2005 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 May 2001 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the March 2005 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 1 BARKER CLOSE be worth now?

1 BARKER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £628,783.

This is based on house price inflation of 120.6%, between March 2005 and June 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Wokingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 120.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BARKER CLOSE of £285,000 on 21st March 2005. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £628,783 over the nineteen years and nine months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 BARKER CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The March 2005 sale price of £285,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
