23 THE BIRCHWOODS 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 four 23 THE BIRCHWOODS sales between March 2001 and June 2011 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 February 2006 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 23 THE BIRCHWOODS be worth now?

23 THE BIRCHWOODS might now be worth an estimated £527,837.

This is based on house price inflation of 63.9%, between June 2011 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 63.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 THE BIRCHWOODS of £322,000 on 27th June 2011. For the value to have increased from £322,000 to £527,837 over the twelve years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 THE BIRCHWOODS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The June 2011 sale price of £322,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 23 THE BIRCHWOODS has not materially changed since June 2011.
