5 DOVE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 DOVE CLOSE sales between September 1997 and December 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 October 1998 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 5 DOVE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 1.1%, between December 2024 and July 2025, for 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 1.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 DOVE CLOSE of £595,000 on 13th December 2024. For the value to have increased from £595,000 to £601,566 over the one year and five months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
