1 DOVECOTE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 DOVECOTE ROAD sales between June 2000 and August 2015 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 March 2012 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it rises to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.

What might 1 DOVECOTE ROAD be worth now?

The 28.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 DOVECOTE ROAD of £265,000 on 14th August 2015. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £341,707 over the ten years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
