THE BRAMBLES 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 two THE BRAMBLES sales from February 2008 and March 2019 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 February 2008 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might THE BRAMBLES be worth now?

THE BRAMBLES might now be worth an estimated £955,061.

This is based on house price inflation of 24%, between March 2019 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 24% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE BRAMBLES of £770,000 on 14th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £770,000 to £955,061 over the four years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE BRAMBLES has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The March 2019 sale price of £770,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE BRAMBLES has not materially changed since March 2019.
