This is the Reading council-area index - it tracks how prices move across the whole council area, not a valuation of any individual home. UKHPI updates monthly with a ~2-month lag; recent months are revised as further transactions are registered. Data updated August 2026.
This chart shows the mean price of the standard sales (category A, £1,000 or more) HM Land Registry recorded in Reading in each full calendar year, at the price paid at the time. 2026 so far (to September) is left out because the year is not complete. It is a different measure from the House Price Index above, which covers Reading.
Average (mean) price of standard sales recorded in Reading each full calendar year (HM Land Registry transactions).
