1 BALDONS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 BALDONS CLOSE sales between December 1997 and March 2010 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 January 2009 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the March 2010 sale, where it rises to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.

What might 1 BALDONS CLOSE be worth now?

1 BALDONS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £436,555.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.7%, between March 2010 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BALDONS CLOSE of £249,900 on 25th March 2010. For the value to have increased from £249,900 to £436,555 over the thirteen years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 BALDONS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The March 2010 sale price of £249,900 represented a fair market value for the property.
