26 WATERSIDE DRIVE 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 WATERSIDE DRIVE sales between December 1995 and June 2011 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 2001 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 26 WATERSIDE DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.2%, between June 2011 and February 2025, 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 71.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 WATERSIDE DRIVE of £232,000 on 24th June 2011. For the value to have increased from £232,000 to £397,235 over the fourteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
