26 MERSEY WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 MERSEY WAY sales between May 1998 and March 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 September 2014 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 26 MERSEY WAY be worth now?

26 MERSEY WAY might now be worth an estimated £427,735.

This is based on house price inflation of 0.6%, between March 2023 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the West Berkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 0.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 MERSEY WAY of £425,000 on 31st March 2023. For the value to have increased from £425,000 to £427,735 over the three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 MERSEY WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The March 2023 sale price of £425,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
