6 BENSON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gloucester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 6 BENSON CLOSE sales between February 1999 and March 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 June 2017 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 6 BENSON CLOSE be worth now?

6 BENSON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £297,693.

This is based on house price inflation of 29.4%, between March 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Gloucester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 29.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 BENSON CLOSE of £230,000 on 25th March 2019. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £297,693 over the four years and three months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 6 BENSON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Gloucester local authority area.
