16 WATER 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 two 16 WATER ROAD sales from July 1998 and February 2005 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 1998 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the February 2005 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 16 WATER ROAD be worth now?

16 WATER ROAD might now be worth an estimated £425,302.

This is based on house price inflation of 108%, between February 2005 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 108% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 WATER ROAD of £204,500 on 18th February 2005. For the value to have increased from £204,500 to £425,302 over the twenty years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 WATER ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The February 2005 sale price of £204,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 WATER ROAD has not materially changed since February 2005.
