278A 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 two 278A BENHAM HILL sales from August 2002 and April 2024 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 August 2002 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.

What might 278A BENHAM HILL be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 6.5%, between April 2024 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 6.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 278A BENHAM HILL of £540,000 on 19th April 2024. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £574,832 over the one year and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 278A BENHAM HILL has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The April 2024 sale price of £540,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
