12 GWENDOLINE 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 two 12 GWENDOLINE DRIVE sales from December 2001 and July 2017 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the December 2001 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the July 2017 sale, which was also at 29% below the HPI.

What might 12 GWENDOLINE DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 40.8%, between July 2017 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 40.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 GWENDOLINE DRIVE of £198,000 on 26th July 2017. For the value to have increased from £198,000 to £278,717 over the six years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
