14 BARKER 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 14 BARKER CLOSE sales from January 1999 and August 2020 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 January 1999 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 14 BARKER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.1%, between August 2020 and February 2025, 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 20.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 BARKER CLOSE of £545,000 on 11th August 2020. For the value to have increased from £545,000 to £654,478 over the five years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
