The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 WORDSWORTH CLOSE sales from October 2019 and January 2020 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 2019 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
4 WORDSWORTH CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £370,341.
