15 KIRBY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 15 KIRBY CLOSE sales between December 1995 and January 2017 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 June 1998 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 15 KIRBY CLOSE be worth now?

15 KIRBY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £381,799.

This is based on house price inflation of 18.2%, between January 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the West Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 18.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 15 KIRBY CLOSE of £323,000 on 5th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £323,000 to £381,799 over the six years and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
