4 POPLAR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 POPLAR CLOSE sales from May 2001 and October 2014 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 2001 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 4 POPLAR CLOSE be worth now?

4 POPLAR CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £292,243.

This is based on house price inflation of 58%, between October 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 58% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 POPLAR CLOSE of £185,000 on 10th October 2014. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £292,243 over the eleven years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 POPLAR CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The October 2014 sale price of £185,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
