The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average semi-detached price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area for the corresponding sale date.

| Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
|---|---|---|---|
2019 29 APR | £389,000 | £229,503 | 69% above HPI |

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two READING ROOM COTTAGE sales from May 1996 and April 2019 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 May 1996 sale was for 85% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 85% above the HPI over time, until the April 2019 sale, where it falls to 69% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 69% above the HPI.

READING ROOM COTTAGE might now be worth an estimated £487,432.
This is based on house price inflation of 25.3%, between April 2019 and August 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 25.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for READING ROOM COTTAGE of £389,000 on 29th April 2019. For the value to have increased from £389,000 to £487,432 over the five years and eight months to August 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
