1 WOOTTON 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 five 1 WOOTTON CLOSE sales between February 1997 and August 2005 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 2004 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 1 WOOTTON CLOSE be worth now?

1 WOOTTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £401,270.

This is based on house price inflation of 89.3%, between August 2005 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 89.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 WOOTTON CLOSE of £212,000 on 3rd August 2005. For the value to have increased from £212,000 to £401,270 over the eighteen years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 WOOTTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
• The August 2005 sale price of £212,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
