18 HIGHDOWN AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 HIGHDOWN AVENUE sales from March 2003 and October 2017 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 2003 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 18 HIGHDOWN AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 8.3%, between October 2017 and December 2024, for 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 8.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 HIGHDOWN AVENUE of £670,000 on 26th October 2017. For the value to have increased from £670,000 to £725,703 over the six years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
