5 THISTLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 THISTLE CLOSE sales from December 1995 and October 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 December 1995 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.

What might 5 THISTLE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 25.6%, between October 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Cumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 THISTLE CLOSE of £296,500 on 15th October 2019. For the value to have increased from £296,500 to £372,521 over the four years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
