26 WESTMINSTER WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 WESTMINSTER WAY sales between September 1998 and August 2014 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 2008 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, which was also at 24% below the HPI.

What might 26 WESTMINSTER WAY be worth now?

26 WESTMINSTER WAY might now be worth an estimated £378,756.

This is based on house price inflation of 51.5%, between August 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Wokingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 51.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 WESTMINSTER WAY of £249,950 on 15th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £249,950 to £378,756 over the eleven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 WESTMINSTER WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £249,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
