126 OVERDOWN ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 126 OVERDOWN ROAD sales between September 1995 and October 2016 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 2006 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 126 OVERDOWN ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 14.9%, between October 2016 and February 2025, for semi-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 14.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 126 OVERDOWN ROAD of £355,000 on 20th October 2016. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £407,847 over the nine years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
