5 STARING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 STARING CLOSE sales from April 1999 and August 2005 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 April 1999 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might 5 STARING CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 82.5%, between August 2005 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Swindon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 82.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 STARING CLOSE of £270,000 on 18th August 2005. For the value to have increased from £270,000 to £492,749 over the twenty years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
