28 POPLAR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 28 POPLAR CLOSE sales between July 2000 and November 2003 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 February 2001 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 28 POPLAR CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 111.4%, between November 2003 and June 2025, for semi-detached 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 111.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 POPLAR CLOSE of £167,000 on 28th November 2003. For the value to have increased from £167,000 to £353,000 over the 22 years and five months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
