20 FRIETH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 20 FRIETH CLOSE sales between July 1995 and August 2002 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 2000 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the August 2002 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 20 FRIETH CLOSE be worth now?

20 FRIETH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £401,143.

This is based on house price inflation of 154%, between August 2002 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Wokingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 154% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 FRIETH CLOSE of £157,950 on 19th August 2002. For the value to have increased from £157,950 to £401,143 over the 23 years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 FRIETH CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The August 2002 sale price of £157,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
