23 COTTAGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Hinckley and Bosworth local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 23 COTTAGE CLOSE sales from November 1995 and August 1998 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 1995 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the August 1998 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 23 COTTAGE CLOSE be worth now?

23 COTTAGE CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £306,482.

This is based on house price inflation of 338.1%, between August 1998 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Hinckley and Bosworth local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 338.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 COTTAGE CLOSE of £69,950 on 21st August 1998. For the value to have increased from £69,950 to £306,482 over the 27 years and two months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
