5 WATS DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 WATS DRIVE sales from December 1996 and January 2022 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 1996 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.

What might 5 WATS DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 11.2%, between January 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 11.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 WATS DRIVE of £185,000 on 18th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £205,811 over the two years and eleven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
