EVESCOTE 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 EVESCOTE sales from October 2000 and March 2004 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 October 2000 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might EVESCOTE be worth now?

EVESCOTE might now be worth an estimated £849,084.

This is based on house price inflation of 104.6%, between March 2004 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 104.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for EVESCOTE of £415,000 on 5th March 2004. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £849,084 over the nineteen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of EVESCOTE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The March 2004 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of EVESCOTE has not materially changed since March 2004.
