29 SMART CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Blaby local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 29 SMART CLOSE sales from August 1999 and December 2004 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 August 1999 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the December 2004 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 29 SMART CLOSE be worth now?

29 SMART CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £220,225.

This is based on house price inflation of 85.1%, between December 2004 and July 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Blaby local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 85.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 29 SMART CLOSE of £119,000 on 3rd December 2004. For the value to have increased from £119,000 to £220,225 over the 21 years and five months to July 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 29 SMART CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Blaby local authority area.
• The December 2004 sale price of £119,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 29 SMART CLOSE has not materially changed since December 2004.
