20 BENSON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 20 BENSON CLOSE sales between May 2006 and December 2015 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 2011 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 20 BENSON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 28.3%, between December 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 28.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 BENSON CLOSE of £275,000 on 3rd December 2015. For the value to have increased from £275,000 to £352,925 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 BENSON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
