14 FIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 14 FIELD CLOSE sales from December 2002 and May 2007 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 2002 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the May 2007 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 14 FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 73.4%, between May 2007 and December 2024, for semi-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 73.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 FIELD CLOSE of £222,500 on 18th May 2007. For the value to have increased from £222,500 to £385,731 over the sixteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
