17 THE CLOSE 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 THE CLOSE sales from May 1995 and June 2003 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 May 1995 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the June 2003 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 17 THE CLOSE be worth now?

17 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £559,482.

This is based on house price inflation of 108.8%, between June 2003 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 108.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 THE CLOSE of £268,000 on 11th June 2003. For the value to have increased from £268,000 to £559,482 over the 22 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The June 2003 sale price of £268,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 17 THE CLOSE has not materially changed since June 2003.
