16 ILIFFE CLOSE 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 ILIFFE CLOSE sales between November 2004 and December 2009 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 October 2007 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 16 ILIFFE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 92%, between December 2009 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 92% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 ILIFFE CLOSE of £265,000 on 21st December 2009. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £508,787 over the sixteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
