WENLOCK 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 two WENLOCK sales from December 2005 and October 2008 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 December 2005 sale was for 36% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% above the HPI over time, until the October 2008 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might WENLOCK be worth now?

WENLOCK might now be worth an estimated £726,015.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.8%, between October 2008 and June 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 89.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for WENLOCK of £382,500 on 1st October 2008. For the value to have increased from £382,500 to £726,015 over the seventeen years and four months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of WENLOCK has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wokingham local authority area.
• The October 2008 sale price of £382,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of WENLOCK has not materially changed since October 2008.
