ORCHARD 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 four ORCHARD COTTAGE sales between September 1996 and October 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 March 2007 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might ORCHARD COTTAGE be worth now?

ORCHARD COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £1,043,763.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.9%, between October 2017 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 17.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ORCHARD COTTAGE of £885,000 on 23rd October 2017. For the value to have increased from £885,000 to £1,043,763 over the eight years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ORCHARD COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The October 2017 sale price of £885,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
