2 KINGSDOWN CLOSE 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 2 KINGSDOWN CLOSE sales from March 1996 and September 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 March 1996 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 2 KINGSDOWN CLOSE be worth now?

2 KINGSDOWN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £479,887.

This is based on house price inflation of 106.4%, between September 2005 and May 2026, 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 106.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 KINGSDOWN CLOSE of £232,500 on 7th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £232,500 to £479,887 over the 21 years and four months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 KINGSDOWN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £232,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
