1 MAYBOUGH COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 MAYBOUGH COTTAGE sales from April 2015 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 April 2015 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 1 MAYBOUGH COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 18.9%, between March 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Berkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 MAYBOUGH COTTAGE of £400,000 on 19th March 2021. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £475,588 over the four years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
