4 BERSTEAD 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 three 4 BERSTEAD CLOSE sales between September 1999 and August 2009 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 July 2002 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, which was also at 15% below the HPI.

What might 4 BERSTEAD CLOSE be worth now?

4 BERSTEAD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £424,221.

This is based on house price inflation of 102.5%, between August 2009 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 102.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 BERSTEAD CLOSE of £209,500 on 25th August 2009. For the value to have increased from £209,500 to £424,221 over the seventeen years and three months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 BERSTEAD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The August 2009 sale price of £209,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
