52 RATBY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 52 RATBY CLOSE sales between October 1997 and March 2009 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 March 2009 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the March 2009 sale, where it falls to 48% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% below the HPI.

What might 52 RATBY CLOSE be worth now?

52 RATBY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £262,267.

This is based on house price inflation of 115%, between March 2009 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Wokingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 115% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 52 RATBY CLOSE of £122,000 on 20th March 2009. For the value to have increased from £122,000 to £262,267 over the sixteen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 52 RATBY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The March 2009 sale price of £122,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
