20 WHIMBREL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 20 WHIMBREL CLOSE sales between October 1995 and June 2007 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 1996 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.

What might 20 WHIMBREL CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 55.8%, between June 2007 and June 2025, for terraced 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 55.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 20 WHIMBREL CLOSE of £198,000 on 18th June 2007. For the value to have increased from £198,000 to £308,485 over the eighteen years to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
