OLD OAK COTTAGE 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 OLD OAK COTTAGE sales between September 2002 and October 2015 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 March 2013 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 100% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 100% above the HPI.

What might OLD OAK COTTAGE be worth now?

OLD OAK COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,542,123.

This is based on house price inflation of 28.5%, between October 2015 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 28.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for OLD OAK COTTAGE of £1,200,000 on 30th October 2015. For the value to have increased from £1,200,000 to £1,542,123 over the eight years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of OLD OAK COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The October 2015 sale price of £1,200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of OLD OAK COTTAGE has not materially changed since October 2015.
