1 RAKESTONE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 1 RAKESTONE CLOSE sales between May 1998 and January 2015 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 December 2006 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 1 RAKESTONE CLOSE be worth now?

1 RAKESTONE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £271,039.

This is based on house price inflation of 59.9%, between January 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 59.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 RAKESTONE CLOSE of £169,500 on 21st January 2015. For the value to have increased from £169,500 to £271,039 over the nine years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 RAKESTONE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The January 2015 sale price of £169,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
