6 SAFFRON 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 five 6 SAFFRON CLOSE sales between February 2000 and October 2022 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 2019 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 6 SAFFRON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 0.3%, between October 2022 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 0.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 SAFFRON CLOSE of £429,000 on 28th October 2022. For the value to have increased from £429,000 to £430,163 over the three years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
