FARAWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FARAWAY sales from August 2005 and November 2011 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 August 2005 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might FARAWAY be worth now?

FARAWAY might now be worth an estimated £564,828.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.7%, between November 2011 and February 2025, for semi-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 86.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FARAWAY of £302,500 on 25th November 2011. For the value to have increased from £302,500 to £564,828 over the fourteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FARAWAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The November 2011 sale price of £302,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FARAWAY has not materially changed since November 2011.
