2 YEW LANE 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 four 2 YEW LANE sales between December 1997 and February 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 May 2014 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 2 YEW LANE be worth now?

2 YEW LANE might now be worth an estimated £435,665.

This is based on house price inflation of 17.7%, between February 2019 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 17.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 YEW LANE of £370,000 on 25th February 2019. For the value to have increased from £370,000 to £435,665 over the four years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 YEW LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The February 2019 sale price of £370,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 2 YEW LANE has not materially changed since February 2019.
