29 ROWAN CLOSE 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 four 29 ROWAN CLOSE sales between January 1995 and April 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 June 2003 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 29 ROWAN CLOSE be worth now?

29 ROWAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £541,663.

This is based on house price inflation of 9.4%, between April 2022 and December 2024, 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 9.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 ROWAN CLOSE of £495,000 on 29th April 2022. For the value to have increased from £495,000 to £541,663 over the one year and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 29 ROWAN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The April 2022 sale price of £495,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
