26 KENTWOOD 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 three 26 KENTWOOD CLOSE sales between April 2000 and February 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 August 2005 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 26 KENTWOOD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 72.2%, between February 2008 and July 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 72.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 KENTWOOD CLOSE of £227,500 on 22nd February 2008. For the value to have increased from £227,500 to £391,861 over the sixteen years and seven months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
