278 ACRE LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 278 ACRE LANE sales between January 1999 and November 1999 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 1999 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the November 1999 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 278 ACRE LANE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 301.2%, between November 1999 and April 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the West Northamptonshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 301.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 278 ACRE LANE of £57,500 on 30th November 1999. For the value to have increased from £57,500 to £230,710 over the 26 years and seven months to April 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 278 ACRE LANE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the West Northamptonshire local authority area.
