POST OFFICE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three POST OFFICE HOUSE sales between July 2001 and February 2016 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 January 2005 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might POST OFFICE HOUSE be worth now?

POST OFFICE HOUSE might now be worth an estimated £548,802.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.4%, between February 2016 and February 2025, for semi-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 29.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for POST OFFICE HOUSE of £424,000 on 23rd February 2016. For the value to have increased from £424,000 to £548,802 over the nine years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of POST OFFICE HOUSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The February 2016 sale price of £424,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of POST OFFICE HOUSE has not materially changed since February 2016.
