8 COLLEGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wiltshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 COLLEGE CLOSE sales from September 2016 and October 2020 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 2016 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 8 COLLEGE CLOSE be worth now?

8 COLLEGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £337,708.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.5%, between October 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Wiltshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 16.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 COLLEGE CLOSE of £290,000 on 29th October 2020. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £337,708 over the three years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 COLLEGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Wiltshire local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £290,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 8 COLLEGE CLOSE has not materially changed since October 2020.
