8 DOWDING 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 five 8 DOWDING CLOSE sales between July 1999 and June 2021 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 November 2014 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 8 DOWDING CLOSE be worth now?

8 DOWDING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £467,938.

This is based on house price inflation of 20%, between June 2021 and June 2025, 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 20% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 DOWDING CLOSE of £390,000 on 24th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £390,000 to £467,938 over the four years to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 DOWDING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £390,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
