6 MARTIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 6 MARTIN CLOSE sales between April 1995 and April 2006 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 1997 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the April 2006 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 6 MARTIN CLOSE be worth now?

6 MARTIN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £573,737.

This is based on house price inflation of 86.9%, between April 2006 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 86.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 MARTIN CLOSE of £307,000 on 4th April 2006. For the value to have increased from £307,000 to £573,737 over the nineteen years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

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