2 LORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 LORD CLOSE sales from March 2016 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 March 2016 sale was for 106% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 106% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 93% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 93% above the HPI.

What might 2 LORD CLOSE be worth now?

2 LORD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £755,085.

This is based on house price inflation of 31.9%, between December 2017 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 31.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 LORD CLOSE of £572,500 on 1st December 2017. For the value to have increased from £572,500 to £755,085 over the eight years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

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