FOLLY DOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four FOLLY DOWN sales between August 2001 and April 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 July 2013 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might FOLLY DOWN be worth now?

FOLLY DOWN might now be worth an estimated £517,671.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.4%, between April 2016 and February 2025, for semi-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 29.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOLLY DOWN of £400,000 on 13th April 2016. For the value to have increased from £400,000 to £517,671 over the nine years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOLLY DOWN has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The April 2016 sale price of £400,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOLLY DOWN has not materially changed since April 2016.
