2 BLACKBIRD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 BLACKBIRD CLOSE sales from January 2014 and July 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 January 2014 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 2 BLACKBIRD CLOSE be worth now?

2 BLACKBIRD CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £324,467.

This is based on house price inflation of 22%, between July 2018 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Swindon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 22% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 BLACKBIRD CLOSE of £266,000 on 6th July 2018. For the value to have increased from £266,000 to £324,467 over the seven years and five months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 BLACKBIRD CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Swindon local authority area.
