4 AUSTEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Exeter local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 AUSTEN CLOSE sales from August 1998 and April 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 August 1998 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the April 2005 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might 4 AUSTEN CLOSE be worth now?

4 AUSTEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £203,062.

This is based on house price inflation of 93.4%, between April 2005 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Exeter local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 93.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 AUSTEN CLOSE of £105,000 on 29th April 2005. For the value to have increased from £105,000 to £203,062 over the twenty years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 AUSTEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Exeter local authority area.
• The April 2005 sale price of £105,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
