242 BENHAM HILL 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 242 BENHAM HILL sales between July 2006 and May 2020 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 December 2015 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 242 BENHAM HILL be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.1%, between May 2020 and February 2025, 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 22.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 242 BENHAM HILL of £423,400 on 22nd May 2020. For the value to have increased from £423,400 to £516,787 over the five years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 242 BENHAM HILL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The May 2020 sale price of £423,400 represented a fair market value for the property.
