CEDAR WOOD 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 CEDAR WOOD sales from July 1999 and September 2016 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 1999 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might CEDAR WOOD be worth now?

CEDAR WOOD might now be worth an estimated £619,367.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.3%, between September 2016 and December 2024, 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 20.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CEDAR WOOD of £515,000 on 23rd September 2016. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £619,367 over the seven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CEDAR WOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The September 2016 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CEDAR WOOD has not materially changed since September 2016.
