The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 252 READING ROAD sales between November 1999 and January 2022 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 2004 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.
252 READING ROAD might now be worth an estimated £500,408.
This is based on house price inflation of 11.2%, between January 2022 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).
The 11.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 252 READING ROAD of £450,000 on 6th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £450,000 to £500,408 over the one year and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
