34 SANCTUARY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 34 SANCTUARY CLOSE sales from July 2002 and October 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 July 2002 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 34 SANCTUARY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 78.8%, between October 2005 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Worcester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 78.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 34 SANCTUARY CLOSE of £147,000 on 31st October 2005. For the value to have increased from £147,000 to £262,837 over the eighteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
