21 HELMSDALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 21 HELMSDALE CLOSE sales between July 2022 and December 2023 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 2022 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 21 HELMSDALE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 2.9%, between December 2023 and June 2025, for terraced 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 2.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 HELMSDALE CLOSE of £280,000 on 20th December 2023. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £288,108 over the two years and six months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
