THE 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 two THE COTTAGE sales from April 2019 and May 2024 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 April 2019 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might THE COTTAGE be worth now?

THE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £657,744.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.8%, between May 2024 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 2.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COTTAGE of £640,000 on 14th May 2024. For the value to have increased from £640,000 to £657,744 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £640,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2024.
