12 KERSTEN 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 three 12 KERSTEN CLOSE sales between December 2005 and May 2022 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 December 2012 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 12 KERSTEN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.4%, between May 2022 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 4.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 KERSTEN CLOSE of £697,500 on 20th May 2022. For the value to have increased from £697,500 to £727,994 over the one year and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
