5 CROFT 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 two 5 CROFT ROAD sales from February 2006 and April 2008 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 February 2006 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the April 2008 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 5 CROFT ROAD be worth now?

5 CROFT ROAD might now be worth an estimated £442,326.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.9%, between April 2008 and February 2025, 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 76.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CROFT ROAD of £249,995 on 4th April 2008. For the value to have increased from £249,995 to £442,326 over the seventeen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
