1 WAKELING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 WAKELING CLOSE sales between December 1997 and February 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 November 2010 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it rises to 34% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% above the HPI.

What might 1 WAKELING CLOSE be worth now?

The 41.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 1 WAKELING CLOSE of £364,000 on 3rd February 2017. For the value to have increased from £364,000 to £514,580 over the eight years and nine months to May 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
