17 LAUREL DRIVE 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 17 LAUREL DRIVE sales from April 1995 and January 2000 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 April 1995 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the January 2000 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 17 LAUREL DRIVE be worth now?

17 LAUREL DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £600,200.

This is based on house price inflation of 217.6%, between January 2000 and February 2025, 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 217.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 LAUREL DRIVE of £189,000 on 21st January 2000. For the value to have increased from £189,000 to £600,200 over the 24 years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 LAUREL DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The January 2000 sale price of £189,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
