8 LOCKING 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 LOCKING CLOSE sales from May 1996 and June 2010 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 May 1996 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 8 LOCKING CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 61.6%, between June 2010 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 61.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 LOCKING CLOSE of £240,000 on 4th June 2010. For the value to have increased from £240,000 to £387,957 over the thirteen years and six months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
