16 DOVECOTE 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 three 16 DOVECOTE ROAD sales between May 1996 and September 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 July 2004 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 16 DOVECOTE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 12.2%, between September 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 12.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 DOVECOTE ROAD of £235,000 on 2nd September 2016. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £263,777 over the nine years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The September 2016 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
