8 GENTIAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 GENTIAN CLOSE sales between February 2001 and July 2013 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 2002 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might 8 GENTIAN CLOSE be worth now?

8 GENTIAN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £676,122.

This is based on house price inflation of 60%, between July 2013 and February 2025, for 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 60% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 GENTIAN CLOSE of £422,500 on 18th July 2013. For the value to have increased from £422,500 to £676,122 over the twelve years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 GENTIAN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The July 2013 sale price of £422,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
