2 SPARKENHOE 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 SPARKENHOE sales from May 2001 and July 2005 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 2001 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 2 SPARKENHOE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 87.3%, between July 2005 and December 2024, 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 87.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SPARKENHOE of £197,000 on 8th July 2005. For the value to have increased from £197,000 to £368,927 over the eighteen years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
