5 THE CRESCENT 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 two 5 THE CRESCENT sales from September 2002 and September 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 September 2002 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 5 THE CRESCENT be worth now?

5 THE CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £529,168.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.3%, between September 2016 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 20.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THE CRESCENT of £440,000 on 16th September 2016. For the value to have increased from £440,000 to £529,168 over the seven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
