8 GORSE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 GORSE CLOSE sales from December 2005 and December 2015 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 2005 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the December 2015 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 8 GORSE CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 45.9%, between December 2015 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 45.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 GORSE CLOSE of £144,995 on 22nd December 2015. For the value to have increased from £144,995 to £211,513 over the ten years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
