1 HODSON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 HODSON CLOSE sales between May 2000 and October 2017 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 February 2008 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 1 HODSON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 32.2%, between October 2017 and December 2024, for 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 32.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 HODSON CLOSE of £217,000 on 23rd October 2017. For the value to have increased from £217,000 to £286,958 over the six years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
