7 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 THE CLOSE sales between February 1997 and May 2003 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 1998 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, where it rises to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.

What might 7 THE CLOSE be worth now?

7 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £233,738.

This is based on house price inflation of 136.1%, between May 2003 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Northumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 136.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 THE CLOSE of £99,000 on 30th May 2003. For the value to have increased from £99,000 to £233,738 over the 22 years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Northumberland local authority area.
• The May 2003 sale price of £99,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 7 THE CLOSE has not materially changed since May 2003.
