81 LOWER WAY 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 five 81 LOWER WAY sales between November 1996 and May 2021 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 2004 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 81 LOWER WAY be worth now?

81 LOWER WAY might now be worth an estimated £359,660.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.9%, between May 2021 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 17.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 81 LOWER WAY of £305,000 on 14th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £305,000 to £359,660 over the two years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 81 LOWER WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The May 2021 sale price of £305,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 81 LOWER WAY has not materially changed since May 2021.
