6 BENSKYN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 6 BENSKYN CLOSE sales between October 1997 and September 2015 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 2009 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 6 BENSKYN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 54.9%, between September 2015 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 54.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 BENSKYN CLOSE of £245,000 on 18th September 2015. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £379,610 over the ten years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
