53 HIRSTWOOD 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 53 HIRSTWOOD sales from December 2016 and August 2022 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 December 2016 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 53 HIRSTWOOD be worth now?

This is based on house price deflation of 1%, between August 2022 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 1% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 53 HIRSTWOOD of £245,000 on 8th August 2022. For the value to have decreased from £245,000 to £242,450 over the three years and one month to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
