6 BALFOUR DRIVE 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 three 6 BALFOUR DRIVE sales between September 2002 and January 2012 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 December 2006 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 6 BALFOUR DRIVE be worth now?

6 BALFOUR DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £318,282.

This is based on house price inflation of 73.9%, between January 2012 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 73.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 BALFOUR DRIVE of £183,000 on 20th January 2012. For the value to have increased from £183,000 to £318,282 over the eleven years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 BALFOUR DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The January 2012 sale price of £183,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
