2 DOVE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 DOVE CLOSE sales from May 2002 and July 2018 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 2002 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 2 DOVE CLOSE be worth now?

2 DOVE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £191,757.

This is based on house price inflation of 19.1%, between July 2018 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 19.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 DOVE CLOSE of £161,000 on 25th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £161,000 to £191,757 over the five years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 DOVE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Kesteven local authority area.
• The July 2018 sale price of £161,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
