WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WHITE COTTAGE sales from July 1995 and August 2005 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 July 1995 sale was for 93% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 93% above the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £758,768.

This is based on house price inflation of 110.8%, between August 2005 and February 2025, for semi-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 110.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE COTTAGE of £360,000 on 18th August 2005. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £758,768 over the twenty years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The August 2005 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since August 2005.
