23 FORSYTHIA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 23 FORSYTHIA CLOSE sales between January 1995 and March 2016 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 October 2002 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 23 FORSYTHIA CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 24.9%, between March 2016 and February 2025, for 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 24.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 FORSYTHIA CLOSE of £381,000 on 21st March 2016. For the value to have increased from £381,000 to £475,981 over the nine years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
