8 BOWDLER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 BOWDLER CLOSE sales between June 1999 and July 2023 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 August 2004 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 8 BOWDLER CLOSE be worth now?

8 BOWDLER CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £265,297.

This is based on house price inflation of 4%, between July 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 BOWDLER CLOSE of £255,000 on 5th July 2023. For the value to have increased from £255,000 to £265,297 over the seven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

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