18 WREN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 WREN CLOSE sales between July 2001 and September 2009 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 2007 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 18 WREN CLOSE be worth now?

18 WREN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £403,662.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.5%, between September 2009 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Torridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 61.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 WREN CLOSE of £250,000 on 11th September 2009. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £403,662 over the fourteen years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
