159 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 five 159 CITY ROAD sales between April 2000 and December 2021 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 2018 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, which was also at 15% below the HPI.

What might 159 CITY ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 10.3%, between December 2021 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 10.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 159 CITY ROAD of £315,000 on 10th December 2021. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £347,587 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 159 CITY ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
