LEA 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 two LEA COTTAGE sales from December 2000 and February 2018 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 was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might LEA COTTAGE be worth now?

LEA COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £778,272.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.9%, between February 2018 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 17.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LEA COTTAGE of £660,000 on 16th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £660,000 to £778,272 over the five years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LEA COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The February 2018 sale price of £660,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LEA COTTAGE has not materially changed since February 2018.
