8 BARKER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 BARKER CLOSE sales between December 1998 and August 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 September 2003 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 8 BARKER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.4%, between August 2023 and February 2025, for 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 4.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BARKER CLOSE of £583,000 on 3rd August 2023. For the value to have increased from £583,000 to £608,783 over the two years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
