THE OLD BARN 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 OLD BARN sales from December 2004 and December 2009 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 December 2004 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD BARN be worth now?

THE OLD BARN might now be worth an estimated £845,227.

This is based on house price inflation of 88.9%, between December 2009 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 88.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD BARN of £447,500 on 23rd December 2009. For the value to have increased from £447,500 to £845,227 over the fifteen years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD BARN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £447,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD BARN has not materially changed since December 2009.
