20 LEA CLOSE 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 20 LEA CLOSE sales from October 2001 and March 2015 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 2001 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 20 LEA CLOSE be worth now?

20 LEA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £431,029.

This is based on house price inflation of 43.7%, between March 2015 and April 2026, 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 43.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 LEA CLOSE of £299,950 on 11th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £299,950 to £431,029 over the ten years and eleven months to April 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 LEA CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The March 2015 sale price of £299,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 20 LEA CLOSE has not materially changed since March 2015.
