1 ROWAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 ROWAN CLOSE sales from June 2016 and June 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 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 1 ROWAN CLOSE be worth now?

1 ROWAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £786,480.

This is based on house price inflation of 14%, between June 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 ROWAN CLOSE of £690,000 on 30th June 2021. For the value to have increased from £690,000 to £786,480 over the two years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 ROWAN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The June 2021 sale price of £690,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 ROWAN CLOSE has not materially changed since June 2021.
