5 LOCKS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 LOCKS LANE sales between September 1996 and July 2020 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 September 2012 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 5 LOCKS LANE be worth now?

5 LOCKS LANE might now be worth an estimated £394,340.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.2%, between July 2020 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Vale of White Horse local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LOCKS LANE of £310,000 on 23rd July 2020. For the value to have increased from £310,000 to £394,340 over the five years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LOCKS LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Vale of White Horse local authority area.
• The July 2020 sale price of £310,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
