IVY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three IVY COTTAGE sales between January 2003 and July 2023 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 2009 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might IVY COTTAGE be worth now?

IVY COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £543,955.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.6%, between July 2023 and February 2025, for semi-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 5.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for IVY COTTAGE of £515,000 on 14th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £515,000 to £543,955 over the two years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of IVY COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The July 2023 sale price of £515,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of IVY COTTAGE has not materially changed since July 2023.
