DRUMBEG 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 DRUMBEG sales from April 2007 and April 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 April 2007 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the April 2013 sale, where it rises to 112% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 112% above the HPI.

What might DRUMBEG be worth now?

DRUMBEG might now be worth an estimated £1,491,362.

This is based on house price inflation of 65.7%, between April 2013 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 65.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for DRUMBEG of £900,000 on 25th April 2013. For the value to have increased from £900,000 to £1,491,362 over the twelve years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of DRUMBEG has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The April 2013 sale price of £900,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of DRUMBEG has not materially changed since April 2013.
