12 DART 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 12 DART CLOSE sales from November 1998 and May 2004 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 November 1998 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the May 2004 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 12 DART CLOSE be worth now?

12 DART CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £598,335.

This is based on house price inflation of 107%, between May 2004 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 107% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 DART CLOSE of £289,000 on 21st May 2004. For the value to have increased from £289,000 to £598,335 over the nineteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 12 DART CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The May 2004 sale price of £289,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 12 DART CLOSE has not materially changed since May 2004.
