16 MIDDLE 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 two 16 MIDDLE CLOSE sales from August 2012 and July 2024 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 August 2012 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 16 MIDDLE CLOSE be worth now?

16 MIDDLE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £389,422.

This is based on house price inflation of 2.5%, between July 2024 and June 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 2.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 MIDDLE CLOSE of £380,000 on 1st July 2024. For the value to have increased from £380,000 to £389,422 over the one year and one month to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 MIDDLE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
