MARLYNS 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 MARLYNS sales between April 1996 and November 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 2012 sale was for 72% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 72% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it falls to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might MARLYNS be worth now?

MARLYNS might now be worth an estimated £1,064,965.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.9%, between November 2023 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 1.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MARLYNS of £1,045,000 on 8th November 2023. For the value to have increased from £1,045,000 to £1,064,965 over the eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MARLYNS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The November 2023 sale price of £1,045,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MARLYNS has not materially changed since November 2023.
