14 HIGHDOWN AVENUE 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 two 14 HIGHDOWN AVENUE sales from September 1998 and December 2020 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 September 1998 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.

What might 14 HIGHDOWN AVENUE be worth now?

14 HIGHDOWN AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £1,036,115.

This is based on house price inflation of 12%, between December 2020 and December 2024, 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 12% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 14 HIGHDOWN AVENUE of £925,000 on 8th December 2020. For the value to have increased from £925,000 to £1,036,115 over the four years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 14 HIGHDOWN AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The December 2020 sale price of £925,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 14 HIGHDOWN AVENUE has not materially changed since December 2020.
