1 BEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 BEN CLOSE sales from May 2007 and February 2018 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 May 2007 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.

What might 1 BEN CLOSE be worth now?

1 BEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £587,784.

This is based on house price inflation of 16.4%, between February 2018 and June 2025, for semi-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 16.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BEN CLOSE of £505,000 on 16th February 2018. For the value to have increased from £505,000 to £587,784 over the six years and eight months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
