10 BIRCHLAND 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 two 10 BIRCHLAND CLOSE sales from July 2017 and February 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 July 2017 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might 10 BIRCHLAND CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 15%, between February 2021 and December 2024, for 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 15% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 BIRCHLAND CLOSE of £825,000 on 10th February 2021. For the value to have increased from £825,000 to £949,159 over the two years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
