HOPESAY 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 two HOPESAY sales from May 1995 and May 2002 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 1995 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might HOPESAY be worth now?

HOPESAY might now be worth an estimated £724,198.

This is based on house price inflation of 149.7%, between May 2002 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 149.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HOPESAY of £290,000 on 31st May 2002. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £724,198 over the 21 years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HOPESAY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The May 2002 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HOPESAY has not materially changed since May 2002.
