The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 79 MAYFIELD DRIVE sales from September 1996 and August 2010 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 September 1996 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
79 MAYFIELD DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £522,330.
This is based on house price inflation of 80.1%, between August 2010 and February 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 80.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 MAYFIELD DRIVE of £290,000 on 25th August 2010. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £522,330 over the fifteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
