43 MORLAIS 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 43 MORLAIS sales between March 1996 and July 2001 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 October 1997 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the July 2001 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 43 MORLAIS be worth now?

43 MORLAIS might now be worth an estimated £610,708.

This is based on house price inflation of 154.5%, between July 2001 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 154.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 43 MORLAIS of £240,000 on 10th July 2001. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £610,708 over the 22 years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 43 MORLAIS has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The July 2001 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 43 MORLAIS has not materially changed since July 2001.
