4 DOVE CLOSE 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 five 4 DOVE CLOSE sales between May 1995 and August 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 2013 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might 4 DOVE CLOSE be worth now?

4 DOVE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £492,841.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.2%, between August 2018 and February 2025, 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 20.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 DOVE CLOSE of £410,000 on 7th August 2018. For the value to have increased from £410,000 to £492,841 over the seven years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 DOVE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
