22 ARDEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 22 ARDEN CLOSE sales from August 2008 and June 2017 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 August 2008 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 22 ARDEN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 24.8%, between June 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 22 ARDEN CLOSE of £281,500 on 8th June 2017. For the value to have increased from £281,500 to £351,370 over the six years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
