8 HELSTON 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 HELSTON CLOSE sales between June 2007 and January 2024 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 October 2017 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.

What might 8 HELSTON CLOSE be worth now?
