8 LODGE 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 four 8 LODGE CLOSE sales between December 1995 and April 2000 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 July 1998 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the April 2000 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 8 LODGE CLOSE be worth now?

8 LODGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £433,143.

This is based on house price inflation of 220.8%, between April 2000 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 220.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 LODGE CLOSE of £135,000 on 27th April 2000. For the value to have increased from £135,000 to £433,143 over the 25 years and two months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 LODGE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The April 2000 sale price of £135,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
