68 COLBY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Charnwood local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 68 COLBY DRIVE sales between July 1996 and December 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 December 2005 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.

What might 68 COLBY DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 25.2%, between December 2019 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Charnwood local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 68 COLBY DRIVE of £350,000 on 20th December 2019. For the value to have increased from £350,000 to £438,357 over the six years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 68 COLBY DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Charnwood local authority area.
• The December 2019 sale price of £350,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
