1 FORTY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Brent local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 FORTY CLOSE sales from November 2003 and July 2004 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 November 2003 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the July 2004 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 1 FORTY CLOSE be worth now?

1 FORTY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £920,099.

This is based on house price inflation of 139%, between July 2004 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Brent local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 139% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 FORTY CLOSE of £385,000 on 16th July 2004. For the value to have increased from £385,000 to £920,099 over the 21 years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 FORTY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Brent local authority area.
• The July 2004 sale price of £385,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 FORTY CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2004.
