THE FOLLY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bracknell Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FOLLY sales from April 1997 and June 2012 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 April 1997 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the June 2012 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might THE FOLLY be worth now?

THE FOLLY might now be worth an estimated £683,216.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.1%, between June 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Bracknell Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE FOLLY of £392,500 on 1st June 2012. For the value to have increased from £392,500 to £683,216 over the thirteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE FOLLY has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Bracknell Forest local authority area.
• The June 2012 sale price of £392,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE FOLLY has not materially changed since June 2012.
