8 WATERSIDE DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 8 WATERSIDE DRIVE sales between December 1995 and July 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 July 2013 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 8 WATERSIDE DRIVE be worth now?

8 WATERSIDE DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £406,031.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.4%, between July 2018 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Berkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 WATERSIDE DRIVE of £340,000 on 18th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £340,000 to £406,031 over the seven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 WATERSIDE DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Berkshire local authority area.
