3 BLACKTHORN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 BLACKTHORN CLOSE sales between May 1995 and November 2003 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 1997 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 3 BLACKTHORN CLOSE be worth now?

The 107.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 BLACKTHORN CLOSE of £284,000 on 28th November 2003. For the value to have increased from £284,000 to £589,409 over the 22 years and four months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
