34 HIRSTWOOD 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 six 34 HIRSTWOOD sales between December 1997 and May 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 January 2016 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the May 2021 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 34 HIRSTWOOD be worth now?

34 HIRSTWOOD might now be worth an estimated £410,138.

This is based on house price inflation of 13.9%, between May 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 13.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 HIRSTWOOD of £360,000 on 14th May 2021. For the value to have increased from £360,000 to £410,138 over the two years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 34 HIRSTWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The May 2021 sale price of £360,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
