4 WILLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 WILLOW CLOSE sales from September 2007 and July 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 September 2007 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.

What might 4 WILLOW CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 60.6%, between July 2013 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wychavon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 60.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4 WILLOW CLOSE of £185,000 on 26th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £297,175 over the ten years and seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
