5 BOUNDARY 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 5 BOUNDARY CLOSE sales from June 1996 and September 2014 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 June 1996 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 5 BOUNDARY CLOSE be worth now?

5 BOUNDARY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £446,120.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.7%, between September 2014 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 48.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BOUNDARY CLOSE of £299,950 on 2nd September 2014. For the value to have increased from £299,950 to £446,120 over the eleven years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 BOUNDARY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
