BEECH DRIVE 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 two BEECH DRIVE sales from December 1998 and March 2008 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 December 1998 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the March 2008 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might BEECH DRIVE be worth now?

BEECH DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £817,915.

This is based on house price inflation of 74%, between March 2008 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 74% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for BEECH DRIVE of £470,000 on 26th March 2008. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £817,915 over the seventeen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of BEECH DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The March 2008 sale price of £470,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of BEECH DRIVE has not materially changed since March 2008.
