21 MORLAIS 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 five 21 MORLAIS sales between December 1995 and September 2013 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 February 2005 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 21 MORLAIS be worth now?

21 MORLAIS might now be worth an estimated £443,744.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.5%, between September 2013 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 67.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 21 MORLAIS of £265,000 on 13th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £443,744 over the ten years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 21 MORLAIS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The September 2013 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 21 MORLAIS has not materially changed since September 2013.
