6 WEST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 WEST CLOSE sales from August 2007 and May 2012 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 August 2007 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 6 WEST CLOSE be worth now?

6 WEST CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £289,819.

This is based on house price inflation of 56.7%, between May 2012 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cornwall local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 56.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 6 WEST CLOSE of £185,000 on 14th May 2012. For the value to have increased from £185,000 to £289,819 over the thirteen years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

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