19 TOWER 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 two 19 TOWER CLOSE sales from September 2003 and August 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 September 2003 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 19 TOWER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 13.6%, between August 2017 and December 2024, 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 13.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 19 TOWER CLOSE of £470,000 on 22nd August 2017. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £533,941 over the six years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
