27 BROOM 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 three 27 BROOM CLOSE sales between June 1998 and August 2016 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 June 2007 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 27 BROOM CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 22.2%, between August 2016 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 22.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 BROOM CLOSE of £380,000 on 3rd August 2016. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £464,243 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
