LITTLE ORCHARD 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 three LITTLE ORCHARD sales between December 2003 and June 2014 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 October 2011 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the June 2014 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might LITTLE ORCHARD be worth now?

LITTLE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £917,053.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.2%, between June 2014 and February 2025, 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 56.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for LITTLE ORCHARD of £587,000 on 6th June 2014. For the value to have increased from £587,000 to £917,053 over the eleven years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of LITTLE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The June 2014 sale price of £587,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of LITTLE ORCHARD has not materially changed since June 2014.
