19 BLACKTHORN 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 19 BLACKTHORN CLOSE sales from November 1996 and March 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 November 1996 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the March 2000 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 19 BLACKTHORN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 205.3%, between March 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 205.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 BLACKTHORN CLOSE of £287,500 on 14th March 2000. For the value to have increased from £287,500 to £877,870 over the 25 years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
