The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 49 HIRSTWOOD sales between May 2001 and May 2023 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 July 2015 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
49 HIRSTWOOD might now be worth an estimated £239,556.
This is based on house price inflation of 5.3%, between May 2023 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).
