12 WHIMBREL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 12 WHIMBREL CLOSE sales between December 2002 and November 2015 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 October 2013 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the November 2015 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might 12 WHIMBREL CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 27.7%, between November 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 12 WHIMBREL CLOSE of £267,500 on 27th November 2015. For the value to have increased from £267,500 to £341,579 over the ten years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
