178 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 178 CITY ROAD sales between July 2001 and October 2006 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 2003 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 178 CITY ROAD be worth now?

178 CITY ROAD might now be worth an estimated £364,199.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.7%, between October 2006 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 80.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 178 CITY ROAD of £201,500 on 20th October 2006. For the value to have increased from £201,500 to £364,199 over the nineteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 178 CITY ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The October 2006 sale price of £201,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
