41 STEPHENS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 41 STEPHENS CLOSE sales from December 1998 and April 2016 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 December 1998 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 41 STEPHENS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 27.9%, between April 2016 and December 2024, for semi-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 27.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 41 STEPHENS CLOSE of £370,000 on 28th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £473,210 over the seven years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
