1 BENTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Malvern Hills local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 BENTON CLOSE sales from May 2003 and April 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 May 2003 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 1 BENTON CLOSE be worth now?

1 BENTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £302,305.

This is based on house price inflation of 39%, between April 2017 and May 2026, for semi-detached houses, in the Malvern Hills local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 39% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 BENTON CLOSE of £217,500 on 13th April 2017. For the value to have increased from £217,500 to £302,305 over the eight years and eleven months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 1 BENTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Malvern Hills local authority area.
• The April 2017 sale price of £217,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
