79 STEPHENS FIRS 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 79 STEPHENS FIRS sales between June 2001 and May 2023 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 July 2018 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 79 STEPHENS FIRS be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2.7%, between May 2023 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 2.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 STEPHENS FIRS of £575,000 on 5th May 2023. For the value to have increased from £575,000 to £590,727 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
