APRIL COTTAGE 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 two APRIL COTTAGE sales from November 1995 and May 2013 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 November 1995 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might APRIL COTTAGE be worth now?

APRIL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £306,038.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.4%, between May 2013 and February 2025, 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 65.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for APRIL COTTAGE of £185,000 on 17th May 2013. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £306,038 over the twelve years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of APRIL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The May 2013 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of APRIL COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2013.
