ELMET 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 two ELMET COTTAGE sales from April 2002 and August 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 April 2002 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might ELMET COTTAGE be worth now?

ELMET COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,007,895.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.2%, between August 2016 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 22.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ELMET COTTAGE of £825,000 on 25th August 2016. For the value to have increased from £825,000 to £1,007,895 over the nine years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ELMET COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The August 2016 sale price of £825,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ELMET COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2016.
