THE ORCHARD 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 three THE ORCHARD sales between December 2017 and January 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 December 2019 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might THE ORCHARD be worth now?

THE ORCHARD might now be worth an estimated £816,673.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.8%, between January 2024 and February 2025, 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 6.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE ORCHARD of £765,000 on 30th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £765,000 to £816,673 over the eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE ORCHARD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The January 2024 sale price of £765,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE ORCHARD has not materially changed since January 2024.
