5 HIRSTWOOD 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 four 5 HIRSTWOOD sales between April 1997 and May 2024 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 2016 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 5 HIRSTWOOD be worth now?

5 HIRSTWOOD might now be worth an estimated £315,248.

This is based on house price inflation of 1.7%, between May 2024 and March 2025, 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 1.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 HIRSTWOOD of £310,000 on 3rd May 2024. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £315,248 over the one year and two months to March 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 HIRSTWOOD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £310,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 HIRSTWOOD has not materially changed since May 2024.
