1 MERTHYR VALE 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 three 1 MERTHYR VALE sales between June 1999 and October 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 November 2002 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.

What might 1 MERTHYR VALE be worth now?

1 MERTHYR VALE might now be worth an estimated £1,193,168.

This is based on house price inflation of 69.2%, between October 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Reading local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 69.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 MERTHYR VALE of £705,000 on 25th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £705,000 to £1,193,168 over the thirteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 MERTHYR VALE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The October 2012 sale price of £705,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 MERTHYR VALE has not materially changed since October 2012.
