18 WESSEX DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cheltenham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 WESSEX DRIVE sales from September 2000 and December 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 September 2000 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 18 WESSEX DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 30.9%, between December 2017 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Cheltenham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 30.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 WESSEX DRIVE of £253,000 on 14th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £253,000 to £331,195 over the seven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
