48 APPLE 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 48 APPLE CLOSE sales from August 2007 and December 2007 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 August 2007 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the December 2007 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 48 APPLE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 68.4%, between December 2007 and February 2025, 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 68.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 48 APPLE CLOSE of £233,500 on 20th December 2007. For the value to have increased from £233,500 to £393,184 over the eighteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
