Land registry data shows three sales for 3 RECREATION ROAD since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the three sales, along with the average semi-detached price in the Reading local authority area for the corresponding sale date.

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 RECREATION ROAD sales between March 2001 and February 2004 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 August 2002 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the February 2004 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
3 RECREATION ROAD might now be worth an estimated £405,303.
This is based on house price inflation of 122.1%, between February 2004 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 122.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 RECREATION ROAD of £182,500 on 23rd February 2004. For the value to have increased from £182,500 to £405,303 over the 21 years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
