72 LONGFIELDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 72 LONGFIELDS sales from December 2008 and September 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 December 2008 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the September 2014 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 72 LONGFIELDS be worth now?

72 LONGFIELDS might now be worth an estimated £346,813.

This is based on house price inflation of 41.6%, between September 2014 and February 2025, for semi-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 41.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 72 LONGFIELDS of £245,000 on 4th September 2014. For the value to have increased from £245,000 to £346,813 over the eleven years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 72 LONGFIELDS has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The September 2014 sale price of £245,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 72 LONGFIELDS has not materially changed since September 2014.
