ROMARON 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 three ROMARON sales between October 2001 and October 2005 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 September 2002 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might ROMARON be worth now?

ROMARON might now be worth an estimated £757,645.

This is based on house price inflation of 99.4%, between October 2005 and December 2024, 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 99.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for ROMARON of £380,000 on 19th October 2005. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £757,645 over the eighteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of ROMARON has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The October 2005 sale price of £380,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of ROMARON has not materially changed since October 2005.
