3 KENSINGTON ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 KENSINGTON ROAD sales from June 2002 and June 2006 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 June 2002 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 3 KENSINGTON ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 97.3%, between June 2006 and February 2025, for semi-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 97.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 KENSINGTON ROAD of £175,000 on 23rd June 2006. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £345,261 over the nineteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
