278 BASINGSTOKE 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 two 278 BASINGSTOKE ROAD sales from September 2002 and December 2009 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 September 2002 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 278 BASINGSTOKE ROAD be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 88.8%, between December 2009 and July 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 88.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 278 BASINGSTOKE ROAD of £165,000 on 1st December 2009. For the value to have increased from £165,000 to £311,601 over the sixteen years and five months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
