156 CITY ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 156 CITY ROAD sales between March 1999 and September 2011 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 June 2004 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it falls to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 156 CITY ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 72.7%, between September 2011 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Berkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 72.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 156 CITY ROAD of £249,950 on 9th September 2011. For the value to have increased from £249,950 to £431,683 over the fourteen years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
