29 WEST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 29 WEST DRIVE sales from September 1997 and January 2018 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 September 1997 sale was for 176% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 176% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 163% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 163% above the HPI.

What might 29 WEST DRIVE be worth now?

29 WEST DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £2,027,005.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.2%, between January 2018 and December 2024, for 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 19.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 WEST DRIVE of £1,700,000 on 19th January 2018. For the value to have increased from £1,700,000 to £2,027,005 over the five years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 29 WEST DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The January 2018 sale price of £1,700,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
