23 WESTLEIGH DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 23 WESTLEIGH DRIVE sales between September 1997 and May 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 March 2005 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 23 WESTLEIGH DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 39.1%, between May 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 WESTLEIGH DRIVE of £420,000 on 1st May 2015. For the value to have increased from £420,000 to £584,255 over the eight years and five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
