WESTWARD HO 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 WESTWARD HO sales from October 2002 and June 2011 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 October 2002 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might WESTWARD HO be worth now?

WESTWARD HO might now be worth an estimated £529,359.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.7%, between June 2011 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 80.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WESTWARD HO of £293,000 on 24th June 2011. For the value to have increased from £293,000 to £529,359 over the fourteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WESTWARD HO has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The June 2011 sale price of £293,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WESTWARD HO has not materially changed since June 2011.
