1 ARGYLE 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 1 ARGYLE ROAD sales from March 1997 and May 2008 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 March 1997 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the May 2008 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 1 ARGYLE ROAD be worth now?

1 ARGYLE ROAD might now be worth an estimated £490,768.

This is based on house price inflation of 78.5%, between May 2008 and June 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 78.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ARGYLE ROAD of £275,000 on 2nd May 2008. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £490,768 over the sixteen years and eleven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ARGYLE ROAD has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The May 2008 sale price of £275,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 ARGYLE ROAD has not materially changed since May 2008.
