4 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 THE CLOSE sales from September 2014 and March 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 September 2014 sale was for 76% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it rises to 47% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% below the HPI.

What might 4 THE CLOSE be worth now?

4 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £155,748.

This is based on house price inflation of 49.8%, between March 2015 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 49.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 THE CLOSE of £104,000 on 6th March 2015. For the value to have increased from £104,000 to £155,748 over the eight years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Kesteven local authority area.
• The March 2015 sale price of £104,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
