2 BEN 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 three 2 BEN CLOSE sales between July 2009 and May 2015 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 March 2014 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 2 BEN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 34.3%, between May 2015 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 34.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BEN CLOSE of £460,000 on 1st May 2015. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £617,689 over the ten years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 BEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
