7 WAKELING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 WAKELING CLOSE sales between September 1998 and May 2014 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 April 2010 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might 7 WAKELING CLOSE be worth now?

7 WAKELING CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £528,089.

This is based on house price inflation of 67.6%, between May 2014 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 67.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 WAKELING CLOSE of £315,000 on 30th May 2014. For the value to have increased from £315,000 to £528,089 over the eleven years and three months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 WAKELING CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
• The May 2014 sale price of £315,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
