10 FARM CLOSE 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 four 10 FARM CLOSE sales between January 2008 and December 2023 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 2017 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 10 FARM CLOSE be worth now?

10 FARM CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £466,540.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.6%, between December 2023 and February 2025, 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 5.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 FARM CLOSE of £442,000 on 7th December 2023. For the value to have increased from £442,000 to £466,540 over the two years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 10 FARM CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The December 2023 sale price of £442,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
