23 QUEEN STREET 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 three 23 QUEEN STREET sales between September 1997 and August 2002 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 March 2001 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the August 2002 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 23 QUEEN STREET be worth now?

23 QUEEN STREET might now be worth an estimated £426,535.

This is based on house price inflation of 137%, between August 2002 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 137% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 QUEEN STREET of £179,950 on 5th August 2002. For the value to have increased from £179,950 to £426,535 over the 21 years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 23 QUEEN STREET has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The August 2002 sale price of £179,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 23 QUEEN STREET has not materially changed since August 2002.
