LITTLE 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 six LITTLE COTTAGE sales between September 1999 and April 2022 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 2014 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might LITTLE COTTAGE be worth now?

LITTLE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £626,489.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.2%, between April 2022 and February 2025, 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 6.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE COTTAGE of £590,000 on 6th April 2022. For the value to have increased from £590,000 to £626,489 over the three years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The April 2022 sale price of £590,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE COTTAGE has not materially changed since April 2022.
