5 ORCHARD GROVE 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 ORCHARD GROVE sales between October 1997 and January 2018 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 May 2014 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the January 2018 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 5 ORCHARD GROVE be worth now?

5 ORCHARD GROVE might now be worth an estimated £351,420.

This is based on house price inflation of 16%, between January 2018 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 16% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ORCHARD GROVE of £302,950 on 5th January 2018. For the value to have increased from £302,950 to £351,420 over the five years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 ORCHARD GROVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The January 2018 sale price of £302,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 ORCHARD GROVE has not materially changed since January 2018.
