26 RAILWAY STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Oadby and Wigston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26 RAILWAY STREET sales between May 2002 and August 2022 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 July 2006 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 26 RAILWAY STREET be worth now?

26 RAILWAY STREET might now be worth an estimated £221,879.

This is based on house price deflation of 1.8%, between August 2022 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Oadby and Wigston local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 1.8% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 26 RAILWAY STREET of £226,000 on 5th August 2022. For the value to have decreased from £226,000 to £221,879 over the one year and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 26 RAILWAY STREET has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Oadby and Wigston local authority area.
• The August 2022 sale price of £226,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
