38 THE CRESCENT 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 38 THE CRESCENT sales from May 1999 and May 2009 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 May 1999 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might 38 THE CRESCENT be worth now?

38 THE CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £526,005.

This is based on house price inflation of 100.4%, between May 2009 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 100.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 THE CRESCENT of £262,500 on 22nd May 2009. For the value to have increased from £262,500 to £526,005 over the fourteen years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 38 THE CRESCENT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The May 2009 sale price of £262,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 38 THE CRESCENT has not materially changed since May 2009.
