28 LAVENDER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 LAVENDER CLOSE sales from February 1995 and April 2017 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 February 1995 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 28 LAVENDER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 27.4%, between April 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 LAVENDER CLOSE of £267,500 on 20th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £267,500 to £340,790 over the six years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The April 2017 sale price of £267,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
