85 BLENHEIM DRIVE 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 three 85 BLENHEIM DRIVE sales between April 1995 and December 2004 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 1996 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the December 2004 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 85 BLENHEIM DRIVE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 92.3%, between December 2004 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 92.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 85 BLENHEIM DRIVE of £236,000 on 10th December 2004. For the value to have increased from £236,000 to £453,866 over the 21 years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
