20 POPLAR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 20 POPLAR CLOSE sales between February 1998 and September 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 February 2005 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.

What might 20 POPLAR CLOSE be worth now?

20 POPLAR CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £133,527.

This is based on house price inflation of 48.4%, between September 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 POPLAR CLOSE of £90,000 on 9th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £90,000 to £133,527 over the ten years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 POPLAR CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The September 2015 sale price of £90,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
