5 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Kesteven local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from July 2001 and November 2005 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 July 2001 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 5 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 66.9%, between November 2005 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Kesteven local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 66.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 ORCHARD CLOSE of £135,000 on 29th November 2005. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £225,257 over the eighteen years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
