47 LOCKING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 47 LOCKING CLOSE sales from February 1998 and December 2014 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 February 1998 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.

What might 47 LOCKING CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 48.8%, between December 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 48.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 47 LOCKING CLOSE of £170,500 on 19th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £170,500 to £253,738 over the eleven years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
