27 MORLAIS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 27 MORLAIS sales between December 1999 and June 2021 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 December 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 27 MORLAIS be worth now?

27 MORLAIS might now be worth an estimated £618,885.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.6%, between June 2021 and December 2024, for 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 13.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 27 MORLAIS of £545,000 on 30th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £545,000 to £618,885 over the two years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 27 MORLAIS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £545,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 27 MORLAIS has not materially changed since June 2021.
