5 CLAY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 CLAY CLOSE sales between May 1996 and October 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 April 2011 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 5 CLAY CLOSE be worth now?

5 CLAY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £637,188.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.6%, between October 2014 and December 2024, for 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 41.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CLAY CLOSE of £450,000 on 30th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £637,188 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

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