159 LONG LANE 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 159 LONG LANE sales from August 2002 and December 2023 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 2002 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.

What might 159 LONG LANE be worth now?

159 LONG LANE might now be worth an estimated £1,180,360.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.6%, between December 2023 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 2.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 LONG LANE of £1,150,000 on 15th December 2023. For the value to have increased from £1,150,000 to £1,180,360 over the one year to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 159 LONG LANE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The December 2023 sale price of £1,150,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
