VENTURE FAIR 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 VENTURE FAIR sales from April 2001 and October 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 April 2001 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.

What might VENTURE FAIR be worth now?

VENTURE FAIR might now be worth an estimated £1,415,176.

This is based on house price inflation of 85%, between October 2009 and February 2025, 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 85% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for VENTURE FAIR of £765,000 on 30th October 2009. For the value to have increased from £765,000 to £1,415,176 over the sixteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of VENTURE FAIR has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The October 2009 sale price of £765,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of VENTURE FAIR has not materially changed since October 2009.
