55 DOWNING DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Leicester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 55 DOWNING DRIVE sales from September 2002 and June 2007 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 September 2002 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.

What might 55 DOWNING DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 83.4%, between June 2007 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Leicester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 83.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 55 DOWNING DRIVE of £180,000 on 22nd June 2007. For the value to have increased from £180,000 to £330,103 over the eighteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
