2 ROACH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 ROACH CLOSE sales between December 1999 and December 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 June 2006 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 2 ROACH CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 74.3%, between December 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Worcester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 ROACH CLOSE of £250,000 on 16th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £250,000 to £435,685 over the sixteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
