45 MINERVA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 45 MINERVA CLOSE sales from March 2008 and March 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 March 2008 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 45 MINERVA CLOSE be worth now?

45 MINERVA CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £239,612.

This is based on house price inflation of 40.9%, between March 2017 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the South Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 45 MINERVA CLOSE of £170,000 on 27th March 2017. For the value to have increased from £170,000 to £239,612 over the six years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 45 MINERVA CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the South Kesteven local authority area.
• The March 2017 sale price of £170,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
