8 BLAKEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 BLAKEY CLOSE sales from October 1997 and June 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 October 1997 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.

What might 8 BLAKEY CLOSE be worth now?

8 BLAKEY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £259,117.

This is based on house price inflation of 27.6%, between June 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the North Yorkshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 27.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BLAKEY CLOSE of £203,000 on 7th June 2019. For the value to have increased from £203,000 to £259,117 over the four years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 BLAKEY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the North Yorkshire local authority area.
