42 WEALDEN WAY 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 four 42 WEALDEN WAY sales between February 1996 and August 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 April 2005 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, which was also at 24% below the HPI.

What might 42 WEALDEN WAY be worth now?

42 WEALDEN WAY might now be worth an estimated £327,446.

This is based on house price inflation of 96.7%, between August 2009 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 96.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 WEALDEN WAY of £166,500 on 21st August 2009. For the value to have increased from £166,500 to £327,446 over the sixteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 WEALDEN WAY has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The August 2009 sale price of £166,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
