26 FIELD 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 two 26 FIELD CLOSE sales from April 1999 and October 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 April 1999 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might 26 FIELD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 17.5%, between October 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 17.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 FIELD CLOSE of £375,000 on 18th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £440,521 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
