LARKSLEVE 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 LARKSLEVE COTTAGE sales between October 2004 and December 2020 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 November 2009 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might LARKSLEVE COTTAGE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 12.4%, between December 2020 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 12.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LARKSLEVE COTTAGE of £706,000 on 9th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £706,000 to £793,743 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
