16 SANCTUARY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 16 SANCTUARY CLOSE sales between September 1995 and July 2021 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 May 2014 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the July 2021 sale, where it rises to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 16 SANCTUARY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 20.3%, between July 2021 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Worcester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 20.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 16 SANCTUARY CLOSE of £285,000 on 22nd July 2021. For the value to have increased from £285,000 to £342,763 over the two years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
