WELL 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 WELL COTTAGE sales from January 2007 and June 2021 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 January 2007 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 31% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% above the HPI.

What might WELL COTTAGE be worth now?

WELL COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £918,690.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.3%, between June 2021 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 16.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WELL COTTAGE of £790,000 on 30th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £790,000 to £918,690 over the four years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WELL COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £790,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WELL COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2021.
