DOWN END Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three DOWN END sales between May 2004 and June 2020 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 September 2007 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the June 2020 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might DOWN END be worth now?

DOWN END might now be worth an estimated £916,790.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.7%, between June 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wokingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DOWN END of £772,500 on 26th June 2020. For the value to have increased from £772,500 to £916,790 over the three years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DOWN END has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The June 2020 sale price of £772,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DOWN END has not materially changed since June 2020.
