The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Leicester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 THE POPPINS sales from May 2000 and June 2000 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 May 2000 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the June 2000 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.
38 THE POPPINS might now be worth an estimated £252,797.
This is based on house price inflation of 396.2%, between June 2000 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Leicester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 396.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 THE POPPINS of £50,950 on 29th June 2000. For the value to have increased from £50,950 to £252,797 over the 25 years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
