8 POPLAR 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 three 8 POPLAR CLOSE sales between May 1997 and November 2012 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 2004 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 8 POPLAR CLOSE be worth now?

8 POPLAR CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £316,396.

This is based on house price inflation of 80.8%, between November 2012 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 80.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 POPLAR CLOSE of £174,950 on 23rd November 2012. For the value to have increased from £174,950 to £316,396 over the thirteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 POPLAR CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
• The November 2012 sale price of £174,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
