BARNES COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three BARNES COTTAGE sales between September 2000 and August 2012 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 2002 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might BARNES COTTAGE be worth now?

BARNES COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £543,468.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.7%, between August 2012 and February 2025, for 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 64.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BARNES COTTAGE of £330,000 on 6th August 2012. For the value to have increased from £330,000 to £543,468 over the thirteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BARNES COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The August 2012 sale price of £330,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BARNES COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2012.
