20 MOUNT 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 three 20 MOUNT CLOSE sales between May 2008 and July 2019 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 2010 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 20 MOUNT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.6%, between July 2019 and December 2024, 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 17.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 MOUNT CLOSE of £595,000 on 1st July 2019. For the value to have increased from £595,000 to £699,913 over the four years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 MOUNT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The July 2019 sale price of £595,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
