8 SOVEREIGN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Halton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 SOVEREIGN CLOSE sales between August 2007 and January 2022 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 March 2020 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 8 SOVEREIGN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 10.4%, between January 2022 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Halton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 8 SOVEREIGN CLOSE of £230,000 on 27th January 2022. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £253,831 over the one year and one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 8 SOVEREIGN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Halton local authority area.
• The January 2022 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
