FOUR KEEPS 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 FOUR KEEPS sales between April 1996 and July 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 1999 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might FOUR KEEPS be worth now?

FOUR KEEPS might now be worth an estimated £672,732.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.1%, between July 2012 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 64.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FOUR KEEPS of £410,000 on 5th July 2012. For the value to have increased from £410,000 to £672,732 over the eleven years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FOUR KEEPS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The July 2012 sale price of £410,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FOUR KEEPS has not materially changed since July 2012.
