HOLLYCROFT 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 two HOLLYCROFT sales from December 2000 and May 2011 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 2000 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might HOLLYCROFT be worth now?

HOLLYCROFT might now be worth an estimated £616,128.

This is based on house price inflation of 64.3%, between May 2011 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 64.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOLLYCROFT of £375,000 on 3rd May 2011. For the value to have increased from £375,000 to £616,128 over the twelve years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOLLYCROFT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The May 2011 sale price of £375,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOLLYCROFT has not materially changed since May 2011.
