THE OLD BARN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD BARN sales from November 1995 and March 2014 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 November 1995 sale was for 307% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 307% above the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 215% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 215% above the HPI.

What might THE OLD BARN be worth now?

THE OLD BARN might now be worth an estimated £819,232.

This is based on house price inflation of 74.3%, between March 2014 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 74.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD BARN of £470,000 on 28th March 2014. For the value to have increased from £470,000 to £819,232 over the eleven years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE OLD BARN has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
• The March 2014 sale price of £470,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE OLD BARN has not materially changed since March 2014.
