242 GOSBROOK ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 242 GOSBROOK ROAD sales between June 2002 and May 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 2005 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 242 GOSBROOK ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 38.9%, between May 2015 and June 2025, for terraced 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 38.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 242 GOSBROOK ROAD of £259,950 on 29th May 2015. For the value to have increased from £259,950 to £361,117 over the nine years and eleven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
