3 JAMES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 JAMES CLOSE sales between August 1996 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 March 2004 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 3 JAMES CLOSE be worth now?

3 JAMES CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £263,696.

This is based on house price inflation of 50.7%, between June 2007 and February 2025, for semi-detached houses, in the Shropshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 50.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 3 JAMES CLOSE of £175,000 on 1st June 2007. For the value to have increased from £175,000 to £263,696 over the eighteen years and four months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 3 JAMES CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Shropshire local authority area.
• The June 2007 sale price of £175,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 3 JAMES CLOSE has not materially changed since June 2007.
