4 DARWIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 DARWIN CLOSE sales between May 1999 and July 2015 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 2015 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 4 DARWIN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 58.1%, between July 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 58.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 DARWIN CLOSE of £192,500 on 24th July 2015. For the value to have increased from £192,500 to £304,372 over the eight years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 DARWIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
