16 DEFIANT 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 two 16 DEFIANT CLOSE sales from August 1996 and November 2001 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 1996 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the November 2001 sale, where it falls to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 16 DEFIANT CLOSE be worth now?

16 DEFIANT CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £300,409.

This is based on house price inflation of 168.2%, between November 2001 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 168.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 DEFIANT CLOSE of £112,000 on 15th November 2001. For the value to have increased from £112,000 to £300,409 over the 24 years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 DEFIANT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The November 2001 sale price of £112,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
