26 AUSTINS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Harborough local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26 AUSTINS CLOSE sales between November 1999 and October 2020 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 December 2015 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 26 AUSTINS CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 16.4%, between October 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Harborough local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 AUSTINS CLOSE of £270,000 on 21st October 2020. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £314,346 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 AUSTINS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Harborough local authority area.
