4 LONGCROFT GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 LONGCROFT GARDENS sales between November 2008 and May 2017 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 2014 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 4 LONGCROFT GARDENS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between May 2017 and December 2024, for semi-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 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 LONGCROFT GARDENS of £333,000 on 26th May 2017. For the value to have increased from £333,000 to £415,664 over the six years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
