5 CWMCARN 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 four 5 CWMCARN sales between August 1996 and October 2012 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 August 2005 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it rises to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 5 CWMCARN be worth now?

5 CWMCARN might now be worth an estimated £759,368.

This is based on house price inflation of 70.6%, between October 2012 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 70.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 CWMCARN of £445,000 on 8th October 2012. For the value to have increased from £445,000 to £759,368 over the eleven years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 CWMCARN has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The October 2012 sale price of £445,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 CWMCARN has not materially changed since October 2012.
