17 STEPHENS 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 four 17 STEPHENS CLOSE sales between December 2008 and January 2024 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 June 2021 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might 17 STEPHENS CLOSE be worth now?

17 STEPHENS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £526,313.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.3%, between January 2024 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 6.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 STEPHENS CLOSE of £495,000 on 10th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £526,313 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 STEPHENS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The January 2024 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
