5 HILLTOP ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 HILLTOP ROAD sales from June 2008 and October 2014 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 June 2008 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.

What might 5 HILLTOP ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 47.4%, between October 2014 and December 2024, for semi-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 47.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 HILLTOP ROAD of £335,000 on 30th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £493,762 over the nine years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
