To calculate the value of Rahim's house after a 30% increase:

1. Calculate 30% of £160000:

   $30\\% = 0.30 imes 160000 = 48000$

2. Add this amount to the original value:

   $160000 + 48000 = 208000$

Therefore, the value of Rahim's house at the end of 2019 is £208000.

At the end of 2019:

• Tamara's house value: £176000
• Rahim's house value: £208000

Comparing the two values, £208000 (Rahim's house) is greater than £176000 (Tamara's house).

Thus, Rahim's house had the greater value at the end of 2019.
