5 AMHERST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Breckland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 AMHERST CLOSE sales between June 1995 and September 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 June 2002 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.

What might 5 AMHERST CLOSE be worth now?

5 AMHERST CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £331,403.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.1%, between September 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Breckland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 AMHERST CLOSE of £265,000 on 7th September 2017. For the value to have increased from £265,000 to £331,403 over the six years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 AMHERST CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Breckland local authority area.
• The September 2017 sale price of £265,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
