28 HIGHDOWN AVENUE 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 two 28 HIGHDOWN AVENUE sales from March 2019 and December 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 March 2019 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.

What might 28 HIGHDOWN AVENUE be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 0.4%, between December 2023 and February 2025, 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 0.4% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 HIGHDOWN AVENUE of £995,000 on 6th December 2023. For the value to have decreased from £995,000 to £990,810 over the two years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
