2 SOUTH DRIVE 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 five 2 SOUTH DRIVE sales between November 1996 and January 2019 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 2018 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the January 2019 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.

What might 2 SOUTH DRIVE be worth now?

2 SOUTH DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £640,177.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.3%, between January 2019 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 13.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SOUTH DRIVE of £565,000 on 18th January 2019. For the value to have increased from £565,000 to £640,177 over the four years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 SOUTH DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
