26 MELWOOD GROVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the York local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 MELWOOD GROVE sales from April 2004 and August 2005 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 April 2004 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 26 MELWOOD GROVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 81.5%, between August 2005 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the York local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 81.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 MELWOOD GROVE of £156,500 on 2nd August 2005. For the value to have increased from £156,500 to £284,086 over the twenty years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
