50 LOCKING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 50 LOCKING CLOSE sales between July 1997 and August 2018 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 2008 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 50 LOCKING CLOSE be worth now?

50 LOCKING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £294,453.

This is based on house price inflation of 22.7%, between August 2018 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 50 LOCKING CLOSE of £240,000 on 23rd August 2018. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £294,453 over the five years and eight months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 50 LOCKING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The August 2018 sale price of £240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
