MAY TREE HOUSE 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 MAY TREE HOUSE sales between March 2015 and August 2017 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 2016 sale was for 139% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 139% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 134% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 134% above the HPI.

What might MAY TREE HOUSE be worth now?

MAY TREE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £1,803,940.

This is based on house price inflation of 20.3%, between August 2017 and December 2024, 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 20.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for MAY TREE HOUSE of £1,500,000 on 2nd August 2017. For the value to have increased from £1,500,000 to £1,803,940 over the six years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of MAY TREE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The August 2017 sale price of £1,500,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of MAY TREE HOUSE has not materially changed since August 2017.
