29 WHIMBREL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 29 WHIMBREL CLOSE sales from August 1997 and October 2002 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 August 1997 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it falls to 48% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% below the HPI.

What might 29 WHIMBREL CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 127.7%, between October 2002 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 127.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 WHIMBREL CLOSE of £129,950 on 30th October 2002. For the value to have increased from £129,950 to £295,889 over the 23 years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
