4 BAREFOOT 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 four 4 BAREFOOT CLOSE sales between November 1995 and July 2001 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 March 1999 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the July 2001 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 4 BAREFOOT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 148.1%, between July 2001 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 148.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BAREFOOT CLOSE of £244,250 on 19th July 2001. For the value to have increased from £244,250 to £605,885 over the 24 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
