5 SHAW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 SHAW CLOSE sales between December 2000 and June 2016 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 November 2015 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the June 2016 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 5 SHAW CLOSE be worth now?

5 SHAW CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £391,974.

This is based on house price inflation of 52.5%, between June 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 52.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SHAW CLOSE of £257,000 on 17th June 2016. For the value to have increased from £257,000 to £391,974 over the seven years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SHAW CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
• The June 2016 sale price of £257,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 SHAW CLOSE has not materially changed since June 2016.
