1 BIGGS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 1 BIGGS CLOSE sales between April 1995 and January 2021 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 June 2016 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 1 BIGGS CLOSE be worth now?

1 BIGGS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £269,286.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.3%, between January 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 21.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BIGGS CLOSE of £222,000 on 28th January 2021. For the value to have increased from £222,000 to £269,286 over the two years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 BIGGS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
• The January 2021 sale price of £222,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
