16 PARK 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 16 PARK CLOSE sales from April 1997 and September 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 April 1997 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the September 2001 sale, where it falls to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.

What might 16 PARK CLOSE be worth now?

16 PARK CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £430,072.

This is based on house price inflation of 163%, between September 2001 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 163% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 PARK CLOSE of £163,500 on 14th September 2001. For the value to have increased from £163,500 to £430,072 over the 24 years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 16 PARK CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2001 sale price of £163,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 16 PARK CLOSE has not materially changed since September 2001.
