5 BUCKINGHAM 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 5 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE sales between May 1995 and July 2017 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 January 2001 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 5 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE be worth now?

5 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £596,143.

This is based on house price inflation of 11.7%, between July 2017 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 11.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE of £533,550 on 7th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £533,550 to £596,143 over the six years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
