1 BEAUFORT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 BEAUFORT CLOSE sales from August 1999 and May 2005 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 August 1999 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 1 BEAUFORT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 79.4%, between May 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 79.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BEAUFORT CLOSE of £205,000 on 18th May 2005. For the value to have increased from £205,000 to £367,805 over the twenty years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
