8 WYCHCOTES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 WYCHCOTES sales from January 2016 and June 2019 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 January 2016 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it rises to 59% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% above the HPI.

What might 8 WYCHCOTES be worth now?

8 WYCHCOTES might now be worth an estimated £1,109,709.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.6%, between June 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Reading local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 WYCHCOTES of £960,000 on 7th June 2019. For the value to have increased from £960,000 to £1,109,709 over the four years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 WYCHCOTES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The June 2019 sale price of £960,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 WYCHCOTES has not materially changed since June 2019.
