1 MARTIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 MARTIN CLOSE sales between November 1995 and November 2016 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 2015 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 1 MARTIN CLOSE be worth now?

1 MARTIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £218,355.

This is based on house price inflation of 34.4%, between November 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 34.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 MARTIN CLOSE of £162,500 on 4th November 2016. For the value to have increased from £162,500 to £218,355 over the seven years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 MARTIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Kesteven local authority area.
• The November 2016 sale price of £162,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 MARTIN CLOSE has not materially changed since November 2016.
