5 BARTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BARTON CLOSE sales from December 2005 and September 2016 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 December 2005 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might 5 BARTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 40.8%, between September 2016 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 40.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 BARTON CLOSE of £270,000 on 28th September 2016. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £380,131 over the seven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
