42 WEST END ROAD 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 four 42 WEST END ROAD sales between November 2005 and March 2016 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 2013 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 42 WEST END ROAD be worth now?

42 WEST END ROAD might now be worth an estimated £462,167.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.3%, between March 2016 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 27.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 WEST END ROAD of £363,000 on 18th March 2016. For the value to have increased from £363,000 to £462,167 over the seven years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 WEST END ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
• The March 2016 sale price of £363,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
