21 BOWFELL 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 21 BOWFELL CLOSE sales from September 1999 and October 2006 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 September 1999 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 21 BOWFELL CLOSE be worth now?

21 BOWFELL CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £377,755.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.7%, between October 2006 and February 2025, 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 80.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 BOWFELL CLOSE of £209,000 on 31st October 2006. For the value to have increased from £209,000 to £377,755 over the nineteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 BOWFELL CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The October 2006 sale price of £209,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
