5 SORREL 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 four 5 SORREL CLOSE sales between July 1998 and July 2024 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 November 2016 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 5 SORREL CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.8%, between July 2024 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 1.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SORREL CLOSE of £540,000 on 16th July 2024. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £549,858 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
