5 SOVEREIGN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 SOVEREIGN CLOSE sales between April 1998 and July 2015 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 2006 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 5 SOVEREIGN CLOSE be worth now?

5 SOVEREIGN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £165,410.

This is based on house price inflation of 62.2%, between July 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Halton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 62.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 SOVEREIGN CLOSE of £102,000 on 8th July 2015. For the value to have increased from £102,000 to £165,410 over the ten years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 SOVEREIGN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Halton local authority area.
• The July 2015 sale price of £102,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 SOVEREIGN CLOSE has not materially changed since July 2015.
