29 KING STREET 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 two 29 KING STREET sales from October 1998 and February 2005 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 October 1998 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the February 2005 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.

What might 29 KING STREET be worth now?

29 KING STREET might now be worth an estimated £551,625.

This is based on house price inflation of 97%, between February 2005 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 97% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 KING STREET of £280,000 on 10th February 2005. For the value to have increased from £280,000 to £551,625 over the eighteen years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 29 KING STREET has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The February 2005 sale price of £280,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 29 KING STREET has not materially changed since February 2005.
