26 ORWELL DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 ORWELL DRIVE sales from April 1997 and September 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 1997 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 26 ORWELL DRIVE be worth now?

26 ORWELL DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £356,109.

This is based on house price inflation of 105.2%, between September 2005 and February 2025, for semi-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 105.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 ORWELL DRIVE of £173,500 on 12th September 2005. For the value to have increased from £173,500 to £356,109 over the twenty years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 ORWELL DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2005 sale price of £173,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
