HARTGROVE COTTAGE 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 HARTGROVE COTTAGE sales between March 1997 and August 2014 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 December 2003 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might HARTGROVE COTTAGE be worth now?

HARTGROVE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £757,796.

This is based on house price inflation of 47.1%, between August 2014 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 47.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HARTGROVE COTTAGE of £515,000 on 22nd August 2014. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £757,796 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HARTGROVE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
