9 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 9 THE CLOSE sales between November 1996 and December 2017 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 April 2010 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.

What might 9 THE CLOSE be worth now?

9 THE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £310,585.

This is based on house price inflation of 35%, between December 2017 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Northumberland local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 35% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 9 THE CLOSE of £230,000 on 18th December 2017. For the value to have increased from £230,000 to £310,585 over the seven years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 9 THE CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Northumberland local authority area.
• The December 2017 sale price of £230,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 9 THE CLOSE has not materially changed since December 2017.
