4 GALSWORTHY DRIVE 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 three 4 GALSWORTHY DRIVE sales between July 1996 and November 2007 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 2000 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the November 2007 sale, where it rises to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.

What might 4 GALSWORTHY DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 65.4%, between November 2007 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 65.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 GALSWORTHY DRIVE of £247,000 on 16th November 2007. For the value to have increased from £247,000 to £408,462 over the sixteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 GALSWORTHY DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The November 2007 sale price of £247,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
