42 WARDS CRESCENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 WARDS CRESCENT sales between January 1995 and January 2017 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 2003 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 42 WARDS CRESCENT be worth now?

42 WARDS CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £295,647.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.8%, between January 2017 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 42 WARDS CRESCENT of £235,000 on 5th January 2017. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £295,647 over the seven years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 42 WARDS CRESCENT has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The January 2017 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
