SWALLOW COTTAGE 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 SWALLOW COTTAGE sales between August 2005 and May 2016 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 2013 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might SWALLOW COTTAGE be worth now?

SWALLOW COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £678,054.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.6%, between May 2016 and February 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 25.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for SWALLOW COTTAGE of £540,000 on 16th May 2016. For the value to have increased from £540,000 to £678,054 over the nine years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of SWALLOW COTTAGE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The May 2016 sale price of £540,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of SWALLOW COTTAGE has not materially changed since May 2016.
