5 KENNET CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 KENNET CLOSE sales between February 1995 and April 2011 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 March 2009 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the April 2011 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 5 KENNET CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 71.2%, between April 2011 and December 2024, for semi-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 71.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 KENNET CLOSE of £144,000 on 18th April 2011. For the value to have increased from £144,000 to £246,595 over the twelve years and four months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
