5 SHORT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 SHORT CLOSE sales between April 2001 and February 2019 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 2002 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, which was also at 25% below the HPI.

What might 5 SHORT CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 27.4%, between February 2019 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Torridge local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SHORT CLOSE of £167,500 on 15th February 2019. For the value to have increased from £167,500 to £213,363 over the four years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SHORT CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Torridge local authority area.
