34 GATCOMBE 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 two 34 GATCOMBE CLOSE sales from August 2010 and October 2014 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 2010 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might 34 GATCOMBE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 40.7%, between October 2014 and June 2025, for 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 40.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 GATCOMBE CLOSE of £286,000 on 31st October 2014. For the value to have increased from £286,000 to £402,365 over the eleven years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
