5 SCHOLARS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Flintshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 SCHOLARS CLOSE sales between December 1997 and December 2021 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 2018 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, which was also at 18% above the HPI.

What might 5 SCHOLARS CLOSE be worth now?

5 SCHOLARS CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £224,487.

This is based on house price inflation of 15.1%, between December 2021 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Flintshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 15.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SCHOLARS CLOSE of £195,000 on 3rd December 2021. For the value to have increased from £195,000 to £224,487 over the four years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SCHOLARS CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Flintshire local authority area.
• The December 2021 sale price of £195,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
