GRANGE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three GRANGE COTTAGE sales between September 1998 and April 2019 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 May 2006 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might GRANGE COTTAGE be worth now?

GRANGE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £840,475.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.7%, between April 2019 and December 2024, for 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 22.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for GRANGE COTTAGE of £685,000 on 16th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £685,000 to £840,475 over the four years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of GRANGE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The April 2019 sale price of £685,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
