5 STAPLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 STAPLE CLOSE sales from June 1999 and June 2023 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 June 1999 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 5 STAPLE CLOSE be worth now?

5 STAPLE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £469,131.

This is based on house price inflation of 2%, between June 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Somerset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 STAPLE CLOSE of £460,000 on 16th June 2023. For the value to have increased from £460,000 to £469,131 over the six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 STAPLE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Somerset local authority area.
• The June 2023 sale price of £460,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
