8 FENTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Oadby and Wigston local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 FENTON CLOSE sales between August 1999 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 January 2006 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might 8 FENTON CLOSE be worth now?
