PURLEY LODGE 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 two PURLEY LODGE sales from October 2008 and August 2014 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 October 2008 sale was for 195% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 195% above the HPI over time, until the August 2014 sale, where it rises to 233% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 233% above the HPI.

What might PURLEY LODGE be worth now?

PURLEY LODGE might now be worth an estimated £1,351,957.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.2%, between August 2014 and December 2024, 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 50.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for PURLEY LODGE of £900,000 on 29th August 2014. For the value to have increased from £900,000 to £1,351,957 over the nine years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of PURLEY LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The August 2014 sale price of £900,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of PURLEY LODGE has not materially changed since August 2014.
