20 SCHOLARS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Flintshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The seven 20 SCHOLARS CLOSE sales between December 1997 and September 2021 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 September 2021 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 20 SCHOLARS CLOSE be worth now?

20 SCHOLARS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £221,396.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.5%, between September 2021 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Flintshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 SCHOLARS CLOSE of £190,000 on 30th September 2021. For the value to have increased from £190,000 to £221,396 over the two years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 20 SCHOLARS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Flintshire local authority area.
