WHITE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WHITE COTTAGE sales between August 1999 and June 2007 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 2004 sale was for 91% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 91% above the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it falls to 74% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 74% above the HPI.

What might WHITE COTTAGE be worth now?

WHITE COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £707,610.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.5%, between June 2007 and December 2024, for semi-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 70.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WHITE COTTAGE of £415,000 on 26th June 2007. For the value to have increased from £415,000 to £707,610 over the sixteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WHITE COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The June 2007 sale price of £415,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WHITE COTTAGE has not materially changed since June 2007.
