The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 252 LONDON ROAD sales from September 2003 and July 2014 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 September 2003 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
252 LONDON ROAD might now be worth an estimated £569,947.
This is based on house price inflation of 54%, between July 2014 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Wokingham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
