4A MACAULAY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4A MACAULAY CLOSE sales from May 1996 and October 2007 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 1996 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 4A MACAULAY CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 58.8%, between October 2007 and February 2025, for 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 58.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 4A MACAULAY CLOSE of £235,000 on 31st October 2007. For the value to have increased from £235,000 to £373,292 over the eighteen years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 4A MACAULAY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The October 2007 sale price of £235,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
