5 FOLDING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Buckinghamshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 FOLDING CLOSE sales between May 1995 and June 2015 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 October 1996 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 5 FOLDING CLOSE be worth now?

5 FOLDING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £871,992.

This is based on house price inflation of 36.2%, between June 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Buckinghamshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 36.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 FOLDING CLOSE of £640,000 on 30th June 2015. For the value to have increased from £640,000 to £871,992 over the ten years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 FOLDING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Buckinghamshire local authority area.
• The June 2015 sale price of £640,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
