2 SWALLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 SWALLOW CLOSE sales from June 1998 and July 2010 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 1998 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 2 SWALLOW CLOSE be worth now?

2 SWALLOW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £311,905.

This is based on house price inflation of 75.7%, between July 2010 and February 2025, for semi-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 75.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SWALLOW CLOSE of £177,500 on 16th July 2010. For the value to have increased from £177,500 to £311,905 over the fifteen years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 SWALLOW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Worcester local authority area.
• The July 2010 sale price of £177,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
