4 HOWGATE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gloucester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 HOWGATE CLOSE sales between June 1998 and August 2013 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 October 2006 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 4 HOWGATE CLOSE be worth now?

4 HOWGATE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £482,903.

This is based on house price inflation of 89%, between August 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Gloucester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 89% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 HOWGATE CLOSE of £255,500 on 22nd August 2013. For the value to have increased from £255,500 to £482,903 over the ten years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

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