12 KINGSDOWN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 KINGSDOWN CLOSE sales from August 2005 and June 2018 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 August 2005 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 12 KINGSDOWN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.9%, between June 2018 and December 2024, for 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 20.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 KINGSDOWN CLOSE of £567,500 on 14th June 2018. For the value to have increased from £567,500 to £686,262 over the five years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
