2 FIELD 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 two 2 FIELD CLOSE sales from January 1996 and April 2010 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 January 1996 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the April 2010 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 2 FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

2 FIELD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £432,139.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.4%, between April 2010 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 76.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 FIELD CLOSE of £245,000 on 22nd April 2010. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £432,139 over the thirteen years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 FIELD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The April 2010 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
