1 THE DRIVE 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 three 1 THE DRIVE sales between May 1995 and February 2022 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 August 2005 sale was for 116% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 116% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it falls to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.

What might 1 THE DRIVE be worth now?

1 THE DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £665,688.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.5%, between February 2022 and February 2025, 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 6.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 THE DRIVE of £625,000 on 21st February 2022. For the value to have increased from £625,000 to £665,688 over the three years to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 THE DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
• The February 2022 sale price of £625,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 1 THE DRIVE has not materially changed since February 2022.
