10 BIRCH 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 10 BIRCH CLOSE sales from November 1995 and October 2018 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 1995 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 10 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?

10 BIRCH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £502,523.

This is based on house price inflation of 21.8%, between October 2018 and February 2025, 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 21.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 10 BIRCH CLOSE of £412,500 on 22nd October 2018. For the value to have increased from £412,500 to £502,523 over the seven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
