FIRLANDS 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 three FIRLANDS sales between May 2003 and May 2012 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 2006 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might FIRLANDS be worth now?

FIRLANDS might now be worth an estimated £770,853.

This is based on house price inflation of 71.3%, between May 2012 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 71.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIRLANDS of £450,000 on 4th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £770,853 over the thirteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIRLANDS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The May 2012 sale price of £450,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIRLANDS has not materially changed since May 2012.
